LG Optimus 4X Rom Performance

I wanted to make a thread where users will post their benchmark result screenshots of their custom or original roms, because we have a lot of rom's for our device an everyone is bragging how their rom is faster, better for gaming, better for this and that, so let's go post your benchmark results screenshots... In post make a not about details, like CPU frequency governers ETC, and of course what rom you used... Let's start competition
Maybe admins will make this a sticky thread...

I wrote this because many screenshots are made without posting which rom they use, which kernel and other stuff like cpu frequency, governors etc... Everybody are just posting benchmark screenshots without saying on what were those screenshots were made...
I want to start a really good competition on which rom is really fastest...

Benchmarks mean nothing at all. If a ROM feels fast when you use it then it is fast.. I've seen ROMs with a great benchmark but they feel slow because they are slow to respond to user interaction.
And trying to run a competition to see which is fastest, best etc does a massive disservice to ALL developers.

Confirmed!
There is a tendency to laziness, lately, because of which, new users, instead of reading threads and trying to understand what they are about, make up shortcuts to figure out "which xxx is the best". Change xxx with"rom", "kernel", "build" or whatever crosses your mind.
This behaviour does not bring any help to anybody: not to the noobs, who will not really understand WHY an xxx is better than others, nor for the developers, who will not have any real feedback from their work (at the very end, if xxx scores better than yyy, then yyy will be perceived as "better", "more up to date", something else?).
In my opinion this should be considered as a disguised attempt of making a "best rom" thread, and should be closed by mods.

I have observed that on installing a nightly build, the performance is generally good for first 10-12 hours and then the responsiveness starts degrading.
A restart helps.
So, the question is when should you run the benchmarks?

You shouldn't. Benchmarks mean nothing. If you are perceiving a slow-down after 10-12 hours then you should try to diagnose the cause of that - does a reboot fix it? Do you need to do a cache or dalvik wipe? Can you get away with just killing all open apps.
Stop worrying about benchmarks, and worry more about how YOUR phone feels to YOU.

Inviato dal mio GT-P3110 usando XDA Premium HD app

I tested a bunch of roms, Slim,Vanir, Pac,AICP, Beanstalk, Mokee, Avatar, Omni...Some 4.3 Some 4.4
All I can say that I really liked most 4.3 roms, but their battery performance was weird-lacking.
I dont really like KitKat 4.4 that much but apart from the early CM11 releases, most 4.4 ones are battery friendly. I get decent battery life.
I had one day at 8 hours, 2 to 1:30 hours screen on time, and in the end of the day I had 20-30% left. Thats ok for me.My battery is nearly 1 year old now, so they fared good.
That said. I think that KitKat in general does a better job at memory handling aswell, I get always 500MB free memory in most 4.4 roms.
IN 4.3 roms, that wasnt always the case.
Whatever the case, my conclusion is that newer roms, that have been ported recently, fare better because they are based on latest CM builds. Earlier roms, which were just ported to our device...well...it depends.
My testing was so that I tried each of these roms for 1 day. Maybe thats not enough, so dont go around bashing me for inaccuracy. Best way to test things is to try them out yourself. I never tried any benchmarks on these roms because I dont care about benchmarks.I usually set animations to off or 0.5 on each of these roms. I dont play games on my phone aswell.
Personally, my recommendation is to try out 4.4 roms firstly, then try out earlier roms.
I currently use a CM nightly.
Keep in mind however that I do NOT use google play or any gapps. So most if not all ROM experience has been smooth, with the exception of 1 Rom.
I can name it, but that would not be fair, but I think that one came together with Gapps.
So my other advice is that gapps are huge memory hogs and battery eaters.

+1 on this.
Currently im using CM11 Latest nightly (18 Jan 14) + iodiak kernel 9.5.
Aside the double push the power button to wake up the phone from deep sleep, it works flawless for me.
Edit : for the double push the power button, there is already a work around for it in this post (Click Me)

[SUGGESTION THREAD] What according to you should be features in an ideal kernel!?

So I've been wanting to ask this questions specifically to the "Nexus 5" users since a long time as I want to know what features you guys want in a kernel that can be classified as an ideal for a daily usage device.
This thread is not about which is the best kernel but what makes up a best good kernel for a daily usage device.
A humble request:
Please don't spam. One post from each one of you specifying the features you "use" would be enough.
Thanks

Nice try but I think most users will reply with the Kernel name itself like the one above me which will lead to comparisons.. lol.
Besides that, what good will this thread do?? Are you going to build a kernel for nexus 5 after collecting the data??

That's the impression I got. Anyways OT is considered spam which the OP asked not to do, so I'd say;
-Not too many governor/TCP/I/O schedulers. Keep it slim, stick to the simple, stable options.
-RGB/Gamma control
-Faux Sound is nice
My opinion.

I'm just a user for now but afterwards might make a kernel.
Just collecting data and opinions of people.

Screen color calibration.

that everything should work properly, and user experience is multiplied. features, any dimwit can cherry pick features, doesnt matter which they are. they are actually the LEAST important part of a kernel. and if you are doing a thread about which features a kernel should have, then this thread is just wasted space. again, any dimwit can cherry pick any of these features, no matter how good or pointless they are. the most important part is the working of the actual kernel itself, not the features. but i can see, that isnt a concern for you, you want to talk about features.

That is not the only concern. I'm just wanting to know what is the most used / favorite feature users use in different kernel.
JUST WANTING TO KNOW. Please don't get me wrong. I know anyone can cherry-pick and call it his kernel but I'm not doing anything just knowing opinions of different people.

[Q] best roms for nexus 6??

Which is in your opinion the best rom to flash on the nexus 6 having stability no bugs and features????
Opinions pls

I think you'll find that for the most part, the majority of the ROMs here are pretty stable, but in the end it's up to you to decide which one you'll stay on. It's a very subjective choice

At that my friend, answers this question perfectly.

Liquid smooth
Or as stated any.

There is no best Rom like what eggydrums said. Asking this question is like going into a car store and asking what's the best car. One rom doesn't fit everybody's needs. Some people look for minimalism, or features, or whatever. There is no best Rom. Every rom has its own unique features, pros, cons.
But if you're looking for opinions, obviously I'd say my rom chroma. I provide support and literally reply to every reply in the rom thread. But it contains the essentials, nothing more and nothing less. Doesn't fit everybody's needs.

There're several ROMs which you can flash in order to see which one do you like the most

"Best" ROM.
There is no such thing as a best ROM. The question itself is ambiguous. "Best" is obviously a subjective term.
What I want from a ROM may well differ from what you want from a ROM, ergo - what is best for me could be worst for you.
If you are asking what the most popular ROMs are, or which ROMs people are using, you can see which threads stay around on the first few pages (and have the most posts) in the Android Development or Original Android Development forums. You can also see what other people are running by reading the What are you running on your Nexus 5 thread.
If you are asking which is the most stable, being a Nexus device - they're all pretty stable.
If you are asking which is best on Battery, ROMs only affect battery if they have a feature that is badly coded. You will likely be able to read about this in the ROM threads. ROMs do not impact battery life. The only impact to battery life are your apps, your settings, how you use the phone and mostly, environmental issues such as Phone Signal.

"Best" Kernel
There is no such thing as the "Best" kernel. What we all want from a kernel is different. Again, many people have the misconception that Kernels affect battery life. Let's get this cleared up. Although Kernel devs will build in optimisations and efficiencies that will improve battery life, these are very, VERY tiny...and if 1 kernel has these optimisations, they likely all have.
People will often say "Kernel x is better than kernel y for battery life". This is actually wrong. Kernels respond to user settings. Setting up the governor to favour either battery life or performance is simple enough to do, you just have to do some learning. The reason people think Kernel x is better than y is because developers set their kernels up with their preferred governor settings. This is what we refer to as out-of-the-box settings. The out-of-the-box settings for kernel x may well produce better battery results than the out-of-the-box settings for kernel y, which favour performance. The fact is, you as the user have the ability to tune kernel x or y to perform the same, be that battery or performance - so start learning how to do this yourselves - that way, you can choose the kernel based on the FEATURES you want, and not the fictional performance benefits of one kernel over another.
Hope this helps

@rootSU I was thinking about making a copy paste of certain faq. Certainly not a bad idea haha. Usually threads with best are not allowed on xda as well

just got my nexus 6 got questions

1. mine is the att variant and the boot logo is way too loud anyway to change this?
2. what's the best camera app for this phone

1. Check in the /oem partition. Also Rule 1 is use search
2. Using search, search for best camera. There are a couple of threads on this. Best is subjective, meaning there is no best, just what people like the most.
3. As above...

Well the point of search being the first rule is because we don't want to answer the same question a million times. If you're that lazy you wont search and demand to be spoon fed join android forums where they're happy to do that. If you want to learn to develop, this is the right place - where learning is the journey. But to be here you must follow the rules and not call people names.

Most Popular ROM for Nexus 6

What is the most popular ROM for the nexus 6 that is stable and has a lot of goodies under the hood? I like CM12.1 but too many reboots on incoming calls and the unknown call history is a mess. Looking for a rom that is good and has some custom options.

A good rom for features is Chroma

When will people stop making these threads?! As the user started above, best is defined by each user. Download them and try for yourself... You have nothing to lose.
