[Q] last fast (really) android version?

ok, we have a nexus, so we deserve updates and we have them....that's why we bought a nexus no?....
yes....but every update is a hit for our device's performance...I thought that last one would fix performance issues, but is not .
so...I bought one of these to my gf, sure that it would work well, I owned one a year ago and it was very good! nope....is slow, lags, remembers me a 100$ cheap tablet.
I considered to downgrade....is frustrating...what version do you remember as stunning fast, like a nexus should be?
4.1? damn, is too 2012-ish....
4.2? old but at least we have tiles on notification drawer...
4.3? good, some performance goodies, hw vsync...
4.4? I thought this would be the best choice because in theory is optimised for 512mb ram devices too....but was not performing well
5.0? don't say nothing...pff
I also read about f2fs as a revolution, but is not my tablet and my gf uses it for study and I can't take it to test...
thanks for reading and answering

My 2012 Nexus 7 (wifi) I had been on Android 4.4.4 when I updated to Android 5.0 using Wugs nexus root tool kit.
It had been sluggish on Kit Kat, but got more so when I went to Lollipop, even with a full wipe.
After about a week on 5.0 I rolled back to Android 4.3, and have been happy since.

Everyone is having different experiences and mine personally is that 5.0 is running greater for me then 4.4.4. That was with a complete full wipe (including data) when I flashed the image through wugs toolkit. There were initially bouts of lag (waking up screen, lock screen, etc) but the lags pretty much gone bar a few occasions. 5.0.1 will hopefully make the system more stable and not repeat what happened with 4.4.4 because my n7 ran like a pig after that update.

And how are you with 4.3? Perfect? I'm really considerino a downgrade....
I will try forma the last time a full wipe and factory image, and then downgrade until I'm satisfied.
No words about f2fs?

I have just updated my n7 to Slim rom 5.0.1.
I have been frustrated by not being able to read a simple email using gmail application. Lags, lags, and "gmail is not responding do you want to close it"
I need to have two accounts for me and my wife, so the performance was even more slow.
Now with f2fs it is a rocket. I have installed every toolvI wanted and now also the Godfire game, and I must admit that it was a hit.
So thank you google to slow our machines to force buying the new ones, but my nexus7 from 2012 acts lighning fast now.

ok....I have to format on f2fs....that's the only way....
than...con you tell me how to do that? and also, I want to flash stock lollipop, no custom roms...
I read some but guides were outdated...and, FYI I am very experienced on flashing, so I will not take you much time

Not sure if stock can be ran on f2fs.
I installed slim rom and itis close to aosp.
Instruction is provided in the rom thread.
I am no very experienced and I handled without problems.

No, I don't have it. I just asked is there slim lollipop on f2fs, because I tried rastapop and SleamFreak which are on 5.0 and have f2fs support, but I had problems like rebooting, problem with installing new apps, etc.
So for now, till I get answer from user emmyhi, I back to slimkat KK which run fantastic on our Nexus 7.

SlimPop (f2fs) by Freak is great. very fast.

Yes, I can agree with you that is really fast, but I had a problem with gapps (downloaded one's give in thread) and I couldn't install Google play store (it wasn't installed with gapps???)
I couldn't resolve my problem with that, and also, even I did clean install I haven't got screen like I first time use this rom. I haven't got possibility to chose language, and everything else. Rom just moved me to homescreen. Maybe this is not for this thread, but, I'll wait some other version of slim on 5.0.

Did you try SlimGapps Normal one from the op link. That worked fine for me. You first flash the Rom. Boot. Go to recovery again. than flash Gapps. Boot. You will get the initialisation screen.

too much beta, I can't take my gf's tablet everytime she has a problem ahahah
I will try an evening every factory image and a kk f2fs rom to see which one performs better...then I'll let you know!

I'm running stock rooted 4.4.4 kitkat on mine with Lean Kernel 4.1. No lag, no issues with apps not working like on 5.0. Good battery life ,watched over 5 hours of movies last night and still had 49% left from a full charge. Standby time is excellent, I've only lost 2% over the last 9 hours.

that stock one with f2fs?

No, not here. Pure stock, rooted 4.4.4 KitKat. Removed a few Google apps I don't use, but still ext4. Lean Kennel really make a difference.

and....after a flashing afternoon....
4.2.2 stock was damn fast....
4.3 stock was even faster and smoother than 4.2.2
4.4 was worse......got better with lean kernel, but wasn't just fast and responsive enough.
the winner is....4.3......that's what I left on my gf's tablet....
everything runs good, apps opening instantly, look much 2013 but google launcher and google keyboard help...
this is my suggestion after my tests. good luck and hope next LP ota will fix some performance issues, not only on this one but for every phone which got slower with this update

[Q] Android 4.4.2 Kitkat VS 5.0 Lollipop

I just installed official Touchwiz Lollipop from Samsung on my Galaxy S5 and i just wanted to ask you guys...
I think kitkat have a definitely better battery life and a much more beautiful lock screen... but Lollipop comes with ART and great design improvments on system apps.
Which one do you think it's better? Kitkat or Lollipop and why

KitKat is better (for now).
Better battery life, no proximity sensor issues, no wifi issues, no light sensor issues , TW works smoother, overal experience is better even with no ART. Benchmark scores is not everything.
I got Lollipop 3 times and every time I downgraded to KitKat stock rom with root.
No exposed framework on LP (yet).
Maybe in couple of months when LP will be more mature project I will update.
Android One is going to have Android 5.1 soon. For now they sticked with 4.4.4.
I think that Samsung was to hurry with 5.0. They should update to 4.4.4 (especialy they had 4.4.4 done for G901).

I beg to differ with qubbus, I think LP is a much better experience than KK.
- Much more refined and better looking UI;
- I've had none of the issues stated in his post. Battery is the same for me, no issues with the sensors.
- I indeed miss Xposed but for now I rather have the small tweaks of Lollipop.
All in all, the choice is yours.

Battery was the main reason i choosed to downgrade.. I couldn't get even through 1 day !
The rest was fine for me. ( Even if i didn't liked that new lockscreen too much )

i got my s5 on kitkat and coming from a nexus4 I was quite unsatisfied with the smoothness. but some dev's at the N4 community are really far at solving bugs and memory leaks so lollipop is running quite perfect on the N4. anyway, after I flashed lollipop on my S5 for the first time I was quite happy with the smoothness. much better then KitKat! yesterday I downgraded to KitKat because I wanted to try wanam xposed. but I almost instantly returned to lollipop.. much, much better! it looks better (too bad it's still a long way from stock android), it's much smoother and for me; battery life isn't much different. I didn't encounter any bugs, for me lollipop is running bug less but I have to say I don't use any of Samsung's extra features..

Haha. i got your point. But my point was that with Lollipop i couldn t make even 12 hours.
funny how people have different problems with the same OS

I wonder if there like me who have problems in the game of Modern Combat 5? It fails at startup after lollipop update.

Yup, that's what a lot of people are doing after updating via KIES or OTA to Lollipop and finding it worse than KK
Im considering it myself, although don't seem to be having as many issues as others are posting since factory resetting and freezing a few bloatware apps

For me KK is better than Lollipop.
1. Most mods here don't work on Lollipop, yet
2. Xposed isn't supported on Lollipop (BIG ISSUE FOR ME)
3. Notification dropdown background is transparent. I know I can change it if I flash AllianceRom 6.0, but the above 2 points still stand
Gonna wait until Rovo fixes Xposed (hopefully) and for most mods on XDA to recieve a Lollipop version as well (some have it now, but not even close to all of them)
Soo.yeah...Lollipop is smoother and better looking, which means absolutely nothing if you can't mod it the way you want to!
---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------
If I wanna try Lollipop, can I restore my 4.4.2 nandroid backup over my 5.0 firmware just like I would normally if I'm on KK?

There seems to be a lot of conflicting info about it, but Ive read a good few people saying they have managed it fine with no problems after flashing back to KK - not done it myself yet though
But yea, a lot of places are saying if you flash from a KNOX enabled firmware back to a firmware without KNOX, it won't work due to the bootloader, but members here and droid central forums report it working 100% fine
Was there ever a build of KK that had KNOX ?
If yes, then that's likely the build people are flashing back to, if not, then I have no idea
Im still on the fence about flashing back, or just forgetting the warranty and rooting this thing on lollipop as it is
I suppose even if it bricked, you'd be able to recover with ODIN

I'm coming back to KitKat. I didn't like android lollipop. Some of the aplications are not supported and battery life is terrible

Lollipop for V500

I've searched and searched and all I could find are posts and articles claiming the Google Play Edition will have official Lollipop support but not a single thing for the v500.
Has LG abandoned this tablet? What's the latest news on this? Is there even an official 4.4.4?
I've been using CM11 so I'm a bit out of the loop on stock firmware but I've been wanting to go back to stock hoping Lollipop would come out.

Only lg knows if an official lollipop ever comes. And no, there is no official 4.4.4.
I am on aosp lollipop since December and it's great.

I keep hoping and periodically emailing LG USA to say "any word?" If you have not emailed them please do. My hopes are starting to wane... I love the tablet but no official lollipop would stink.

Did the GPE get official Lollipop?
Is it possible to flash the GPE ROM on to the V500?
Is this being done already with any success?
I am tempted to pick one up new at 229.
Is there a better idea out there?
Do I need to learn how to use search better?
Please feel free to answer any or all of these questions, or even criticize my unnecessary line breaks.

Since the G-Pad Software was very similar to the G2. I wouldn't give up hope (or applying gentle pressure to LG support) for a lollipop update just yet...

Id say even better. Official cm12.

Official CM 12 nightly here... everything ok.
Only bluetooth that at every reboot misses my keyboard, but battery life is ok & great.
Performance: great cpu performance, less on gpu (proprietery blobs do it better) ...... some games like sim city have slow downs....
Benchmarks confirm... great CPU + VM performance, but less points with GPU.

But with that adreno drivers the performance of GPU cannot be paired with the stock?

are we ever gonna get this? been over 4 months on gpe.

I believe so, if the G2 got it than we sure are gonna get it.

For overall better and stable performance stick to Kitkat currently until Lollipop stable ROM releases. Best option would be CLOUDY G2 v2.2 with Dorminax 10.2 kernel.

I installed a 5.0.2 stock rom on my g2 and I can tell you battery life is really bad, for me anyway, im getting a maximum of 3 hours. If I were you upgrade lollypop when battery life is better hopefully 5.1. However performance is great on lollypop compared to kitkat for to me the extremely low battery life is not worth the hassle.

I'm a heavy user, I'll emulate games, play very graphically intensive games and I'll just squeeze everything I can out of the phone so warranty is nice in case CPU dies out of heat after a year or something.
And if I were to flash a custom rom now, what about Cloudy 3.0? The lolipop version?

I've been a long time custom rom/kernel user on my old ZTE blade but it was a year ago after I purchased it.
Well why I'm here, it's pretty simple, XDA is biggest android community out there.
It necessarily doesn't mean it's only for Android modders, people ask all kinds of questions here.
And so did I, I asked if it's worth it to update to Lolipop rather than to stick 4.2/4.4.
"You can always flash stock and unroot", you sure manufacturer can't spot that it was modded before? And what If the phone just dies, you can't unroot and flash stock rom on a dead phone.

Yeah you can get it back to stock enough for warranty purposes. If it dies completely while modded then you should get your warranty too. It's really hard to totally brick. (Came from blade too via G300 and Moto G)

From my personal experience and opinion, lollipop it's very stable, on my D802 it's rocking...the only scratch is the LGFlashTool it's a little unstable for my opinion...I flashed Lollipop d802 v30a and it's perfect!!!
My advise is while you are with JB rom root it and flash TWRP recovery and then flash CM 12 (that's lollipop). I would do it if I knew LGFlashTool (for my experience) is so unstable...
Don't worry that a thread for you to read in general I think...for rooting, flashing, etc.

You can always flash STOCK ROM and unroot, So you can retain warranty.
And CLOUDY G2 3.0 is for Korean Variants only right now.
** Remember : Before start flashing read xda threads about these carefully. You better start with root and TWRP with Autorec.
Hit thanks if get helped.

how do you hold your battery ? how many hours a push and with time the screen .. i am on 4.4.2 are thinking whether to go back to 4.2.2

If it's not broken then why fix it? As long as its stable and has good battery life. I'm also on 4.4.2 20H and can't see any reason to update. :angel:
If I was, I'd go for CM13 as 5.0.2 has always had the issue with a memory leak. CM13 on the Gpad 8.3 is awesome. :highfive:

I'm having issues with the phone freezing or screen don't rotating to landscape, which solves after reboot. Probably it's because it's rooted and have a lot of crap on it. What I doubt is if 5.x has applications that have been removed.

The battery holds really great, can't Stu but very satisfied. I must say however, that I don't use instant messaging applications like Facebook, whatsapp, line, Twitter or whatever. You really notice battery life improvement.

Here on YouTube comments some users say that android 5.0.2 has memory leak problems, that cyanogenmod 13 is far superior on the LG G2:

So better stay in android 4.x or update to android 6.x but with CM, because official update is not available.

On my case. CM13 Dirty Unicorns is working well on my phone. Good battery back up and other features. My device is a F320K. Just try and test other CM13 custom ROMs. :3
