Guys,
I love my G2 with stock rooted rom...but... I know that it can be MUCH better in smoothness terms with 4.3 due to it's native TRIM support.
Big question/s:
1 - Should I wait for 4.4 or should I install 4.3?
2 - Will I be able upgrade 4.3 > 4.4 without full wipe and keep all my apps/settings or full wipe needed?
Thanks!
I just flashed 4.3. I think it's worth it. You can use titanium backup for apps.

All little lags and none 100% smooth scrolling issues that are in stock gone in 4.3?
I haven't noticed any lag

Did you noticed some laggy scrolling and some lags in stock one?
No but I only ran it for two days.

Changing the CPU governor to interactive from ondemand made scrolling smoother and made other UI interactions snappier. Monitoring CPU core utilization interactive will use more cores at a lower frequency and ondemand will max out one core first.
And the TRIM support is only a big deal if you're not rooted. Since you are, you can just use the Lagfix app in the market that does the exact same thing. The paid version allows for scheduling.

Are you sure trim isn't supported in the stock LG rom? Trim was introduced in 4.3AOSP but that doesn't mean it wasn't supported in older versions.
On my old Gnex, we used an app from the play store to install trim on 4.2.2.
Basically I wouldn't assume trim is not supported. It may not be but its plenty fast enough to not really matter. It may be faster on 4.3+ but I wouldn't flash because of that reason alone.

u can use TiBackup to backup all apps and its data then restore it on the new rom.. it's not that hard..

a bit off topic, if i'm going to use interactive governor should it be coupled with disabling mp-decision?
since mp-decision basically does the same thing as ondemand gov. with the added throttling..
The KitKat update will likely come in less than two months, I'll say no.
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
I would say give a try to all 4.3.1 Roms, when the KitKat rolls out go back to stock and update/ flash the updated firmware.
It's your phone right. Nothing should limit you from experimenting anyway you like.
-LG G2
i just about what you think its better. you should give a try on 4.3
i did, and because of that i prefered a stock based rom than CM
I'm fine with stock and until LG proves themselves ignorant with no upgrade or announcement I'll stick with stock.
I'll give them until the new year, anyway.
If nothing by then I'll actively call them out. Until then I'll just not promote them anymore.
Seems moto eventually got the message from their users. As did Verizon.
Nice thing about Verizon screwing me on the VZW LG G2, if they do, is that I can use a straight talk Sim and move on. I chose this phone to NOT be locked in to VZW. And if LG is lame on updates I'll move on forever from them too. I'll flash the latest android and not look back or buy LG.
Doesn't matter to anyone but makes me feel better declaring it.

Personally the 4.3 Roms are just fine. Ars reviewed kitkat and it was a mixed bag, as Android is still going through a few growing pains, but Google is taking a different approach to many updates through Google Play negating the need for the newest ROM.
i just flashed cm 10.2 and couldn't be happier. all the little lags are gone. performance is superb and battery life is good too.

The idea is not to use custom roms, I prefer to use samsung roms as they're more stable and battery friendly in my experience. By the way, now I'm using the new XXELLC, it's extremely fast and it has a couple of new features... BUT the lag with some of the stock android apps like the phone, contacts or similar is still there. I mean, it's like it takes too much to load the app to the ram, because once the app is loaded, then it starts fast. I don't want to wipe the data because I'm too lazy to restore the apps and their data... lol

Yep, and voltage will make it more stable. Plus, stock means more likely to be less updated. Unless you are rooted you're almost certainly behind. Won't be able to take a hold of latest performance increases and fixes either.

Voltage will only make it more stable if the cpu manufacturing defect is above the threshold for normal operations and Samsung's quality control failed to detect it (which is not that uncommen, cpu's are very hard to test, especially in such large numbers)
Usually crashes are caused by software.
Sammy-based roms can be more stable if eg they include a kernel with fixes/bypasses for bugs found in real-world conditions.
At one point Samsung will release a fix but with carriers and ota that may well take weeks to propagate.

Hi guys just wondering is there any way to make pure Samsung roms as fast as aosp roms are such as cm 10.1 because even when I've frozen all the bloatware on any Sammy based rom it never seems to be anywhere near as fast or as smooth as a aosp rom, any ideas guys to get this kind of speed?

Also I think it could be something to do with the kernel on cm roms cause at the moment I'm using sotmax v 15 with latest perseus and I even have it OCed to 1.ghz and yet it still lags and stutters especially when opening apps and recent apps menu. What the hell could it be, I'm sure stock rom can't be like this otherwise no one would buy galaxy s 3..?

Well I certainly don't have lag opening apps, lag does appear after I've installed a few new apps or app updates but thats a rare and my recent apps menu is smooth.
The issue is not very related to the kernel, imho, because I tried dual booting with Siyah kernel between Sammy rom and CM10.1, and with CM rom I felt everything WAY more smooth, also in terms of free memory and multitasking:
I use Titanium very frequently, and with Samsung roms 90% of the time when I open it (even after a quick app switch) it has to reload the app list (because it was killed), while on CM10 it remains in memory much more, even with the same installed apps on both ROMs...
I disabled around 50 system apps in the samsung rom, still not enough to free the memory.
Yeah but I don't understand what is on cyanogen mod that makes it so much faster and what is on Samsung roms that is slowing them down so much?

please, me too.
also other thing i read people are doing is using another launcher, like nova launcher. for me changing the kernel did the difference, i use boeffla kernel now.
Samsung stock roms are bloated as hell whereas CyanogenMod is pure aosp with just basic android system and important components to run it smoothly. Also CM feels more smoother because of various system tweaks and performance optimizations by the awesome devs whereas the samsung roms don't even implement the very basic of Google's Project Butter.
I've used Omega rom and damn that was fast for a stock rom. It is tweaked very well, I suggest you try that out too. I use Omega and CM dual boot with Siyah kernel. Curretly i'm only running Cm10.1 coz Siyah kernel hasn't been updated to support dual booting of jb 4.2.2
Is there not a way to strip samsung roms down so they're as fast as cm by removing all the crap you're talking about?

Most roms like the Omega rom remove unecessary bloatware. But the basic issue lies within the touchwiz design itself. The sammy rom is entirely a resource hog and the system is basically bloated with unecessary crap.
The most you could do at a user level is to remove useless apps, disabling unused services and most of all NOT use Touchwiz.. Instead use something like Nova launcher which gives you a more stock feel and is relatively low on system resources.
Personally I'll mention that Omega rom is pretty smooth when it comes to overall system performance. But again its just a modified version of the crap sammy rom.
PS: If you hate the fact that normal system apps like the dialer and call log take way too long to load on ur sammy rom..Use exDialer and exContacts.. A very very good alternative to the native apps..Loads extremely fast and has waaay better UI than sammy.
My primary rom is CM 10.1 for obvious reasons. But I'll keep Sammy rom on dual boot until they fix the Camera issue with AOSP based roms..
I think I'm genuinely going to consider just switching to aosp because it's just pissing me off how much slower it is the only thing keeping me from switching is probably the battery life and the crappy camera you get on aosp roms.. But to me it doesn't look there's a way to fix the ****ty Samsung roms and I don't understsnd how they are getting away with shipping this crappy bloatwiz on probably the best phone out at the moment..

So, I just wanted to share my settings and mods from which I have found the best experience on the S4 with... I have tried all the customs ROMs out, and always find myself coming back to stock simply because everything works, and works great...
Apps: Things I cannot live without...
SD maid pro

Mods: Just fun things, all 100% stable..

Trueicon fix-from different carrier forums, the Best icons period and they work with Nottach.
The V for vendetta default contact pics, no more cartons!
Latest Crossbreeder mod on xda
The all in one wifi, hotspot, CRT off mod in our vzw section- projectodex is the name
Custom Android P on apple boot, and Android robot off animations.
A few personal selected blackout app mods
Removed GPS
Removed E911 icon's
Selected bloat all frozen in Tibu
I think those are about it. Everything I listed here is the work of the awesome guys on XDA and Im by no means claiming these as mine. So please thank the individual developers!
Everything I listed here works and will work with each other. IE.., the trueicons will work on top of a completely custom drop down notification panel..
Again, all these things work on a stock rooted ROM, it looks great and nothing crashes ever. I consistently quadrant from low 13k to 14k. The phone boots official eveytime (no custom with the unlocked padlock) and the battery life is pretty great on fauxU kernel.
So, if you can't find a setup that just does it for you, give these mods a try, tweak everything out and enjoy. Remember to thank the respective devs for their work!

What bloatware have you frozen or removed?
+1 Nova Launcher and Solid Explorer. I run CleanROM and it's as stable as can be.
where did you find the E911 removal? the ones i find are all for deodexed roms
The E911 removal was posted in our section back when the device first launched, can't remember the thread name for the life of me....
Apps frozen:
All things Verizon/Amazon
All printer things
Honestly, just went through everything and froze what I don't use and a few random other things. There are some good guides out for this.
That's awesome. I'm going to try some of those.
Can you flash a rom(for example pacman or cm or aokp and still do all or a lot of that?

Meh with this amazing hardware we shouldn't see any entropy issues.
It seems to me that a quad core 1.9 ghz processor should be able to handle everything we can throw at it without any lag. Personally, I find the stock s4 to lag slightly. My Note 2 however works like a dream. I guess the different brand of processors really make a noticeable difference.

Hey all,
Last night I rooted my DNA and installed TWRP recovery after using the latest Moonshine method to get S-OFF. I first installed the CM 10.1 Unofficial rom that I found under the DNA Original Android Development section, and that was a disaster, as it dropped frames constantly and was super buggy. I even did an Antutu test which it struggled through and scored a 11000... Then I went ahead and flashed one of the newer Sense 5 ROMs from the DNA Android Development forum and that one only faired slightly better with performance. I find it odd that they're running so terribly. Did I do something wrong in the process? I wiped the cache and dalvic cache and did a factory reset and all. I thought that with the DNA's specs, I wouldn't have this trouble...

I definitely know what you mean. Trying out Sense 5 currently. I love Sense 5, but the drop in performance in relation to stock can be glaring at times. Especially opening and closing the app drawer.
This has been my experience on many custom ROMs over the years. I just think some people are more tolerant.
I downloaded an app from Play Store that fixes TRIM issues. Phone speeds up for a while, then slows down again. I also overclocked to 1.75 Ghz. The app is called LagFix

http://www.androidbeat.com/2013/11/optimized-dalvik-libraries-improve-nexus-benchmark-scores/
Qualcomm optimized Dalvik libraries boost benchmark scores of Nexus devices
By Rajesh Pandey 7 hours ago.
Google is all set to replace Dalvik with ART (Android Run Time) in the next version of Android. Whatever lag issues that are present in Android currently can be blamed on the use of Dalvik, which compiles app when they are launched compared to ART pre-compiling apps. Comparisons between ART and Dalvik have shown that the former provides much superior performance in apps including lower load times and smoother animations etc.*
Android SoC vendors like Qualcomm have constantly used some proprietary tweaks to speed up Dalvik runtime on their SoCs, which have helped increase scores in benchmarks dramatically. However, since these optimizations are proprietary (closed source), they are not included in the Nexus devices and cannot be used by developers in custom ROMs, because of variations of OEM skins from stock Android. The lack of Dalvik optimizations is also the key reason why the Nexus devices always scored lower in benchmarks compared to offerings from other OEMs.
However, thanks to the Android 4.4 update for the Moto X, Nexus owners can now also enjoy the goodness of these closed source Dalvik optimizations. A senior XDA member, kszaq, has extracted the Qualcomm-optimized Dalvik libraries from the Moto X KitKat update, and repacked it into a CWM flashable ZIP file for Nexus devices.
Initial reports show that post the installation of the optimized Dalvik libraries, the benchmark scores of the Nexus 4, Nexus 5 and the Nexus 7 jumps up by a pretty huge margin. The improvements in day to day usage, at least on my Nexus 5, are tough to say. The optimized Dalvik libraries should work on any rooted Android device, that is powered by Qualcomm’s Krait processor. Head over to this XDA thread for the download link.

I was being adventurous because the libraries are for 4.4 but I'm on Carbon 4.3. Kept my fingers crossed after flashing and it stopped at the boot animation. I restored my nandroid and I'm back to normal.

Edit 2: tried with latest twrp, still hung at boot animation. I don't feel like trying clockwork, maybe someone else can.

That's unfortunate I hope we can get this working somehow... From what I'm reading it's an actual performance increase and not just for benchmarks. Maybe because how difficult it was to get our device working it's just not compatible?
Also I don't know if cm11 is deodexed or not but I would assume it is... You're using dalvik and not ART right?
Perhaps I'll flash a Kit Kat ROM this weekend, a different one that's closer to stock aosp and see if out works. I think everyone that's been using it has been on stock deodexed Kit Kat.
Edit: BTW if you have issues you shouldn't need to restore the whole ROM, just either restore the system partition or wipe system and reinstall the ROM.

It appears it doesn't work with the CM11 Nightlies. It's supposed to be for deodexed roms.
Edit:
These libs appear to for Qualcomm Krait processors, which the DNA has. In theory devs should be able to get these libs to work.
The Nexus5 guys love it, dramatic increases in benchmarks and noticeable performance increase.
They have tested it on odexed and deodexed ROMs and confirmed it works. Some guys successfully ran it on beergang and cataclysm ROMs.

More important than benchmarks, though, is how the phone actually performs. I'm not ready to commit to a kit kat rom just yet, so I didn't use it for too long, but I can say from what little testing I did that it definitely felt much smoother during opening/closing apps compared to stock 4.4. I also tested True Skate (pretty much the only game I play as of lately, if you haven't played it you really need to), which is basically unplayable on AOSP ROMs on anything except the lowest settings, although it works pretty well on medium and high settings on Sense and GPE ROMs. The game is now playable on high settings.
So basically, as I had hoped, this mod is more than just a benchmark booster or a placebo effect, it actually puts my DNA's performance back up to par with Sense ROMs.
Unless I messed something up I just tried applying this update to CM 11.0 4.4 via CWM and got FCs upon bootup. Had to revert to my backup, gonna try Gummy next.

Yea I did some reading and saw it has to be an AOSP ROM which Gummy is. I'll give it a shot tomorrow, I just finally got CM11 set up and customized how I want. I'll update once I try it out, if only Gummy didn't have camera and data issues I'd be more motivated to do it now.
Oh man I cant wait til this gets working on other ROMs! This looks very interesting!!!! Thanks for sharing

Wonder if VanirASOP ROM will work?

I'm pretty sure vanir and beanstalk should both work, they're both aosp based. I just picked gummy because I know it's very very close to aosp. I just wish I knew what it is about cm that makes it not compatible, because that means there will be other Roms that will have the same problem.

Interestingly, it appeared to have no affect for me on Gummy ROM. Tried with stock kernel, CRPalmer's kernel, modified settings, etc. Nothing seemed to make a difference. It's the same score on ART on CM11 or dalvic on CM11/10.2/10.1. Still nowhere near the 10k quadrant I was able to get on stock ROM.
I haven't noticed any change in the speed in using apps either.
I guess it's a YMMV type of thing then. The only time I was ever able to get a 10k quadrant was with [email protected] on Sense 5.

Yeah. I'm not sure why it didn't seem to make any difference for me. Almost like it wasn't really flashing appropriately (even though I attempted many times including reflashing the ROM and the mod multiple times). And, you're right I guess it was with beastmode overclocked that I got 10k. But, currently with AOSP 4.4/4/3 and CM 11/10.2 I get anywhere between 3k's to 4k. Once, got it up to 5k during a random quadrant score testing but that was it. I'm curious though to now how/if other's are able to get it functioning what their procedures and settings are.
