Android 4.2 or 4.3 for gaming? - LG Optimus 4X HD

Hi all guys, I'm asking myself which version of android is better for gaming purposes. Is better 4.2.2 or 4.3 for our device?

I tried both i don't notice a change. I'm gonna try KitKat i will edit post

Does someone have problem while playing modern combat 4 online? I mean if someone have lags playing online. Especially when you are near an enemy. I hate this problem, we have a tegra 3 chip and we have these problems?! I can't believe.

Hi, i tried new unofficial cm11, and i must say that im really impressed.. on 4.0.3, 4.1.2, 4.2 and 4.3 nova 3 wasnt playable i tried almost everything to make it run smoother, with this cm11 it really runs smoother

I'm flashing kitkat atm, but from my experience, 4.2.2 is faster than 4.3 by far.4.3 got system services that use a lot of CPU (unnoticeable while not gaming, but gives lagspikes if you are gaming).Also some apps like NFSMW FCs in 4.3 so I'd go with 4.2.2.

Thank you very much! I'm going to try 4.2.2. I'll write here my impressions.

Which ROM 4.2.2 is better? I mean the more stable.

I find 4.2.2 more stable.I don't think we even have a RC on CM 10.2 (am I wrong?)
Also you get screen orientation bug in 4.3 and some apps FC more often.
Just go with 4.2.2, trust me and click thanks if I helped
every 4.2.2 is stable actually. But I personally liked mokee most. It has nice features at no performance cost. Cm is stable too.

are the Jelly Bean Ports any faster than GB on the S1?

as the title says, are the jelly bean ports any faster than stock GB on the S1 (with lagfix)?
there are thousands of posts saying they work great but none i can find that compare them to stock GB roms?
anyone?
is it worth switching?
Why don't you try an ics Rom first?!

I know what u thinking. Latest stock gb roms are nice and have smooth browser, but cm9 is even better. I've tried JW7 after few months of using cm9 and quickly returned back
I can just tell you from my experience, that at least ICS is incomparably faster than stock GB... Since JB should be even faster due to project Butter I imagine it would easily outperform GB

why would i bother with an ICS rom when JB roms are almost fully working???
Thanks for the replies. My question is would JB be faster than stock GB roms even with the limited hardware (processor/ram)?
Obviously it would be a lot faster on the nexus but how does it perform on the S1?
My stock GB is working great now, except it takes ages to open apps etc, even with the lagfix.
ICS was super fast and smooth. I thought it couldn't be better. Spread a little butter, and flash some jellybean and it is unbelievable. I can seriously compare the smoothness to that of an iphone, and we havent even made it into an alpha jellybean release yet. Expect good things!

Yes, everything is faster except browser which lags a lot on heavy sites, cm9 is still better.
Thanks for the opinions, i will probably go ahead and flash then, cheers :good:

can't use two phones?
It is weird though. My antutu benchmark scores are terribly low, around 2600 instead of 3700. Even though my phone feels faster.
Possibly cause antutu is geared towards ICS, but either way, don't be alarmed at the low scores!

4.1.2 vs 4.2.1

Hi guys! I am running 4.2.1 now but I read few times that 4.1.2 gives better battery, less lag... Should I downgrade? Thanks
My experience with 4.2.1 has been very good. My battery is very good and the N7 is very fast. Unless you are experiencing the problems some have had you might want to stay on 4.2.1 to avoid the time and effort to downgrade and set everything back up. There will be more updates, so you will ultimately be updating again.
thanks.. how long are you able to play games ?

[Q] Most stable ASOP/AOKP ROM for IncS

Was wondering what do you guys think is the most stable Jellybean ASOP / AOKP ROM out there. Would be interested to know the most stable ICS ASOP/AOKP ROM too.
I currently have Lacoste running which I find pretty ok. Would love to know what the general opinion is in the community regarding ASOP/AOKP ICS and Jellybean ROMS
Thanks y'all

The CM10(.1) made by dla5244 are probably the most stable jellybean ROMs out there. Szeszo's CyanVivoX (CM10) is also very stable. (no real significant difference between Szeszo's and dla5244's version of CM10).
There wasnt really much development with ICS AOSP/AOKP as far as Im concerned. Szeszo was working on a CM9 but I don't know if he gave up on it or not :/ For AOKP, theres Ice Cold Jelly v8.3 and thats about it.
Note: Id stay AWAY from PACman. Although it has great battery life, there are still a number of quirks that still need to be ironed out (bugs).
I recently tested an unofficial CM9 by Szezso. You can find it on his google plus profile. The ROM was pretty smooth and with a respectful battery life. Sadly I had a problem with what is supposed to be the main feature of a mobile device...Calling. Or perhaps I'm simply too old fashioned and the issue is not that big
I was not able to hear my phone ring and dealing another number either... By the way I was the only one on the G+ thread regarding the ROM to report this issue. I would raccomand you to try CM10.1 by dla or szeso and then, if you are unhappy with the battery life, the abovementioned unofficial CM9 or Ice cold sandwich, for which you can find a good set of themes in the proper section of the forum.

waiting for szezso's update

Stay on lacoste or try cyanvivo x by szeszo

I dont find many bugs at all. I mean the screen wakes up for me when i get a call which is nice. I think for me, its just the camera. Its good enough to be a stable driver. Plus its battery is pretty good. I could squeeze in much more Pokemon Flora Sky
I've been staying with Lacoste Mod for several weeks, and the performance was slowly going down all the time. It didn't happen at once, there wasn't any particular day when the performance dropped drastically, but the fact is that it kept becoming worse and worse through time. Yesterday I flashed back to stable AR HD, because I needed less battery greedy ROM to take abroad, and I was astonished with how incredibly fast my incredible s became!
Has anyone noticed such a regression on the other JB AOKP/AOSP ROMs? Do they all start lagging in a few days after being flashed?
I was on viper vivo and then on incredible and found them to consistently lose speed. So much so that they became pretty much unusable. I then switched to lacoste.. And then switched to cyan x because of bluetooth issues. Loving the snappiness of cyan x. And its been pretty stable.
I thought aosp/akop roms would be far more responsive coz they don't have the bloatware of sense and that indeed has been my experience
anyone using CyanVivo X previously and migrated to CyanVivo 10.1?
is the flashing method hard?
and how is the performance?

The flashing method? Are you joking me?? its the same on every ROM -_-
And regarding performance, if youve ever tried PACman then in reltivity to that, CyanVivo 10.1 is more stable and in my opinion, has better battery life. If you are comparing it to dla5244's CM10.1, then its more just updated of that (repo synced at later date)

Hi
can you list down the bugs you noticed for PACman.. I have been using it for about a month now and have not noticed much from user's perspective.. except that is has developed a slight lag but guess that is happening with a couple of ROMs
I've also experienced gradual performance decay on some of these popular ROM's, with the most recent being Lacoste.
I asked about the performance issues in the Lacoste thread and nobody seems to be answering. Glad to see I'm not the only one experiencing this!
Do you recommend cyanx then as the most stable and updated ROM (Android version) in terms of performance?

I would recommend dla's CM10 simply cuz u dont needa wait 3 or so seconds to unlock your phone :/ Szeszo says its fixed but I dont see it so :/ the things that CVX trumps is battery life, stability, and dem mods man.. they kick @** XD

there are a couple of bugs listed on szezso's thread - prominent one being screen wakeup bug for incoming calls / alarms..if you can live with those, then yes, it's a pretty hot ROM
Sounds good. Any other recommendations for a ROM?

yes because you start loading apps on your phone and that'll wear it down slowly.

[Q] Is it worth upgrading to 4.4?

Hi,
My wife's GTN7000 is on 4.1.2 stock, but its a bit sluggish now. Though she has a lot of apps on it :0...
Wondering would she benefit from upgrading to 4.4? In terms of performance mainly.
It sounds like its pretty stable, is there any reason I shouldn't upgrade it? If its buggy or she loses any functionality I'll get skinned....
I presume the latest OmniROM is the one to go with, that right?
Thanks loads in advance
Well, just my opinion, customized ROMs are not for house wives.
It depends ...
I've using OMNI since last Nov.as my daily driver and already enjoying it. Better speed more smooth.
But,
Go check the list of known bugs and issues of OMNI ROM in this thread and see if your wife will be able to deal with them on a daily basis.
And I can add:
USB storage doesn't work correctly till now.
Music player crashes on few nightlies.
Camera performance was better on the stock firmware.
Some battery draining issues from time to time.
Remember Nightlies are experimental builds.
maybe, depends on your wife.
Generally, i advise, if it isn't broken, don't fix it.
On the other hand, if she is thinking about a new phone/ not happy with the note as it is, try omni.
Thanks guys Mmmmyeah maybe I'll leave it go, looks like theres still some flakyness...
Cheers
Try SlimSaber Rom from 'fusionjack'....
Awesome performance more than omni....

i think is not the roms but to many unused data.
try to custom roms 4.1.2 cos 4.4 still buggy
I've stayed away from everything, post 4.1.2 on my GT-N7000 for the simple fact that for MY
usage, it is rock stable. Camera, bluetooth are the #1 things, aside from the phone that I use
daily. I've seen a few roms, but each of them have issues with either camera, usb, SD card, or
bluetooth. For my usage, the 4.4 update didn't bring anything to the table that I would find as
a benefit.
Until I get a new device, for my pattern of use, I'm sticking with 4.1.2..... as always, your mileage
may vary.
I just update from 4.2 to 4.4.. My opinion is better update to 4.2 first since it is more stable than 4.4..

[Q] Lg 4x hd v20b to v20a firmware

Hi guys, if someone could help me with this I would be so grateful!
Few months back, I've installed Jelly Bean on my LG 4X HD through LGPCsuite. It started lagging so much after that update, it's almost impossible to work with it. When I'm trying to call someone it takes about 10 secs to even start calling, not to mention how home screen lags after closing app etc. I've read here, on xda, that the best solution would be to downgrade to ICS. Anyway, I really didn't like ICS; camera is much better on JB then on ICS (it took blurry pics) plus some other things I really like more on JB. I have JB v20b and I was wondering: if I install v20a will lagging be less? I really want to use JB, not ICS. Plus, if someone can tell me how should I do that? Or tell me what would really be best solution. I'm kinda scared of installing custom rom, so I'm trying to avoid that. Plus, I'm from Croatia and could I install EUROPE OPEN ANEUBK VERSION firmware?
Thanks so much, I really hope someone will help me!
Plus, please don't mind if I'm asking some nonsense, I'm really new at this.
That's it. I think 4x is a very bad product. Great specs but very bad OS.
Ics lags to much, mainly on camera, I barely can take photos. Jb lags everywhere.
So no solusion. I've just sold my 4x and changed to L80.. really smooth despite the lower specs.
Sent from my LT29i using Tapatalk
Okay, I've been surfing xda forums for the last few hours and I've figured that custom roms aren't so bad. So, can someone suggest me which one is the best for lg 4x hd? Camera is really important for me, so I'm hoping there are custom roms with properly working camera.
Custom roms based on stock/original won't help. The performance is the same.
If you want to be faster, use CM, you can try Xenon rom. But CM always have bugs : sometimes freezes, and dark photos

but custom roms aren't based on 4.1.2., isn't that right? They're based on 4.3. or 4.4 versions. I've been watching some videos on YT and phones with custom roms are super fast, so I'm confused now
Some are, some aren't. If you look around this forum you'll see that the android version is always in the original post of the ROM thread. Using a custom ROM won't automatically make your phone "super fast", though mine is smoother since I switched from stock. "What's the best xxx" threads aren't allowed on XDA because there is no right or wrong answer: it depends on what you're looking for. I've tried Cyanogenmod 11 and Paranoid Android and found PA to be faster and slightly more stable, but I prefer CM because it gives me better battery life and there are alternatives to the features of PA that made me change (peek and hover) on CM. Look around these forums and see what works for you
A word of advice though: make sure you do your homework before you install it. Read all you can before starting, or you could brick your phone!
I have experience with few P880s. Stock roms arent that bad.
In case you want to flash back stock roms. I give you this link for stock firmware of LG phone http://lg-phone-firmware.com/
With custom roms, I often start with CM, then try others.
Hope this help.
my first android phone, best bang for the buck
this is my first android, and I love it, despite the software issues with Stock LG firmware, whether ICS or JB. P.S. my baseband is v20c (UAE).
Quick note, which may cost you seconds of your time and perhaps solve all your issues before jumping to other, custom ROMs. Have you disabled MLT from the hidden menu? (many users reported that it solves the lags)
Open Dialer -> Dial: 3845#*880# -> MLT (all the way at the bottom of the list) -> disable
I tried it on JB (4.1.2) and it definitely helped with the lags.
But then few days later, I decided I wanna play with Kitkat 4.4.4, and I went for the most customization-rich ROM: Beanstalk, and also added the stock LG camera app from JB. Why? because it is faster and the focus is a little better I think. The only thing that doesn't work in it is that if you switch to front-facing camera, it is just a full green screen. However, the camera app that comes in beanstalk doesn't have this problem with front-facing camera. And, you get to have both camera apps installed, so you can switch and compare quality.
The only trick to get the last build of Beanstalk (4.4.4007 , 14/07/14) booting was to also flash iodak v10 kernel immediately after the BS ROM. Then of course gapps (google apps).
Only issue or bug I noticed is you get an error message about DSP manager crashing when playing music, but the music plays afterwards. This is a known issue and should be fixed in later releases.
Alternatively, if you prefer simplicity over customizations, and rock solid stability over latest/bleeding-edge releases, you could go with the stable version of CyanogenMod 10.1.3
Hope I helped.
