Hi, I found a mod that works really well! On XDA, search for "ABS, performance mod", No quotes. I have an xt1526, and since flashing it, my device is doing much better. All you have to do is flash it, and run the desired commands in terminal on your phone. It really does work, and blows a lot of mods out of the water! Try it and see!
tried this and noticed big improvement instantly.
i'm on pacman rom 1025 (latest) + squid 10d
thanks for this advice!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/tweak-arkaynine-boost-script-v3-0-t3120404
that seems to be the topic..
ArkayNine Boost Script is a Tweak that combines many scripts and tweaks in one package which is aimed to improve performance, reduce lags and expand battery life, improve stability, improve sound quality.
This mod will work on any device.
All you need to ensure is that your phone is running android!
It doesn't matter which ROM, which version, which device etc.
It will work from Android 2.3 GingerBread to Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Try this mod
Name of the mod is:- pure performance x I've tried both abs and this mod but i found pure performance much better in terms of bth battery and performanc, so give it a try and here's the link!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360670&page=228
I'm going to try both. Thanks for sharing.

In terms of stability, built-in features, battery life, performance and anything else important that I might have forgotten, which of the below three ROMs is top dog? Just so you know, I plan on flashing the non-overclocked GPU version of _motley's Linaro kernel regardless of which ROM I choose.
Paranoid Android
Glazed
JR6

I'm running paranoid myself but the best advice I've read when people ask this question is try them all. What's best means to me might not be what it means to you. I've tried all three myself and they were all stable, I like paranoid because of the per app density feature it has. It was just updated again today btw. Motleys kernel is awesome I like the one without gpuoc. Good luck, happy flashing
Thanks for the advice. Also, I have another question for anybody who can answer. These three ROMs seem to be mostly similar in terms of features, so it's actually kind of hard telling the differences. So, what I'm trying to ask is, what sets each ROM apart?

Does anyone know the answer to this? I used JR5, EOS now PA. They are all very similar, as you would expect. PA has more config options for setting up tablet UI which is key for me and the reason I use it currently (with Nova Launcher).
I liked JRX Roms as they have lots of apps inbuilt that the others dont, ie working Flash, GAPPS etc.
I'm also using Trinity kernel which is working great, again, I have not noticed much difference between them all.
Try them and take your pick
I say EOS with Mortley kernel
Hello everyone,
After long tests:
Stock firmwares vs AOSP Roms
Previously, stock roms was better for gaming. They were have best 3D performance with very little overclock. And sensors was better on stock rom.
After JW8, games running much faster than old releases. Even better than old froyo gaming performance.
So I deicided to slimming the stock roms, dying them. cool blue color, adding some tweaks to increase performance, replacing some ram hungry things with ram friendly alternatives, adding some good features that never implemented before, using all features with no lose from gaming performance. This was my focus about GamerzRom.
CyanogenMod is cool.
But about 2 month ago,
Thats why I stick stock ROMs1- Gaming performance was worse than stock.
2- Accelerometer and other sensors were unresponsible and impossible to play games with them.
3- Filesystem was confusing us. (datadata problems and lags)
4- Radical changes in short times needs full wipe which I don't like it.
5- Camera was worse than stock roms, especially the 720p recording.
6- Stock ROMS was faster overal.
When I look cyanogenmod these days after very detailed benchmarks today again;
1- Gaming performance and 3D performance is much better than stock roms. (System UI priority decreased and gaming is very quality.)
2- Accelerometer and other sensors are BETTER and more responsive than stock (Accelerometer delay is 20 ms on stock roms, 10 ms on cyangeonmod.)
3- Filesystem is much better - faster than stock with new layout.
4- No radical changes and everyday cyangeonmod team and community adding new features to it.
5- Camera is very smooth and much funnier than stock rom. Benchmarked both. They exactly same. But JellyBean camera features are new destinty.
6- Cyanogenmod 10 is faster OVERALL.
7- Webbrowsing is much better on cyangeonmod 10.
8- You got 390 mb RAM + 720p recording with devil kernel. (Which is 364 mb ram on stock)
9- You can take videos with front cam on cyanogenmod 10.
10- Instantly getting new updates from google to our device. (Latest android features)
11- HW Acceleration is very important for todays devices. Gingerbread is totally crap for most of apps including tapatalk.
12- Sound quality is much better on AOSP roms and you got more chance to tweak it.
13- There are too much reasons that I don't really remember.
14- Touchscreen is much responsive on this one.
For sure, I got my own codes and implementions for AOSP roms. But I have a crappy PC which running a 32 bit Arch-Linux.
Sadly, I need a 64-bit PC and can't compile ROM's on 32 bit PC.
I think from now I can't make more than cyanogenmod team and I highly recommend my users to switching Cyanogenmod 10.
Only negative effects of cyanogenmod is;
- You can't make video calls
That's all.
My suggestion for a combiantion.
-Latest CyanogenMod nightly.
-Devil kernel
As I reminded. You have no reasons to stay on crappy gingerbread with a half hw-accelerated browser.
Upgrade your phone now...
And if you want to donate me because of works I did until today, please donate derteufel1980 or pawitp. Because they doing much more than me.
About GameBooster etc.. We are working like a hurricane. You will get what you paid and much more. Thanks for supporting us.
IMPORTANT:
- Give your blessings.
- Renounce your rights for me in this.
(Or how we must tell this in English. That's just important about my religion.)

Maybe i can help you with building.
I have resourses for that butt only thing is i cannot provide you remote access.
Send me a pm.
I appreciate all ur work and tbh all ur roms were as great as you, hope u keep on development in general, wish u all the luck.
I will give a try to Gamezrom I am using CM9 and I am very satisfied!
Hey,
I just wanted to ask does the custom roms really worth rooting? in comparison to the google stock rom how much faster and more battery efficient are the custom rom that specialize in those fields? (i.e. LiquidSmooth from what I could gather) and how much more/less stable are they from the stock rom?
Thank you.
Experience differs from user to user. The most conclusive way to get an answer is to try it out yourself. For me, PA has been just as fast as the stock ROM and had equally good battery life, but I have had the occasional random reboot. To me that's a miniscule trade-off for the features you get. You won't really get a ROM that's significantly faster than a stock ROM though because the hardware on the phone is good enough that everything feels fast.

I would recommend you try both and stick with the one that works best for you. Only you can determine which one you like more. The N4 is easy to install a custom rom on (even from stock). Plus with the backup apps out there you don't have to risk losing your data and starting over. No two users are identical and what works for one may not work for another.
For what it's worth, I've flashed back to stock/locked/unrooted because I never came to depend on the features the different roms gave me. I'm getting older and don't have the time to stay current on the different roms and features. All I need for my phone are apps/features that are found in the stock rom and the google store. Battery life is better on a custom rom but it's not worth it to me to continue my "flashaholic" ways. I still get through a day sometimes a day and a half on the stock rom - which is all I need. My use case could be drastically different than yours so don't do what I did unless you know it will work for you.
The developers here do great work and it's a great community so I would recommend you try them all to see which one you like the most.
Good luck.
You need to find the answer yourself.

its not about me testing for myself because i'm not looking for features or special stuff i can get along with everything i'm really just looking for the fastest most battery saving ROM, thats it, I play little to almost no games basicly mail and scanning and stuff like that(i'm a student right now) and soon i'll be writing some apps for myself for security purposes so I need something to really milk that Quad Core for all its worth so I also need some CPU tweaking apps(not sure if thats ROM related)
You'll be very happy with Sabermod or Rasbean both close to stock. Sabermod is the only Rom built using the 4.8 chaintool and is very fast. The battery life is also excellent. I recommend those 2 for a close to stock experience with some useful tweaks both fast smooth and solid.

Thank you for your input.
Any other opinions?
and by the way, excuse my ignorance but what does it mean 4.8 chaintool? what makes it faster then the 4.7 or the older ones? and since its really new im guessing, does it mean its less stable then the other ROMS? and when you say excellent battery life, its in comparison to all those other ROMS that aim for max battery life?
Thank you!
If you really want more battery life or smoothness then IMO you should just install a new kernel; Franco's kernel has great battery life but it still has better performance than stock, Trinity kernel is super fast and smooth, and there's loads more options available.
I'm running CM10.1 and Franco kernel and its very stable, barely ever have any sort of bugs or random reboots
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I run CM10.1. Close to stock, but has a few options that are nice to have especially if you like to customize your phone. There are other Roms that have more options, but to me, what's in CM is enough. It's really up to you.
With that being said, I recently flashed a stock rooted rom and got MUCH better battery life than on CM. I don't know if it was an app I had or what, but stock definitely gave me better battery life. I have tried kernels and Rom combinations, but always come back to CM with every single phone I've had. But, in my experience on the Nexus 4, stock Rom gives me the best battery life.
For me liquidsmooth is brilliant! Extremely fast while having tons of customization options. Pair it with matr1x and it really is a great combo for speed and battery life. This is only my opinion but it works for me. I got over 22000 on antutu with this combination (no overclock) while I think its around 17000 on stock. I also get significantly better battery life compared to stock.
if you really want a bump in battery and performance, i suggest rooting and just install francos kernel.i've tried every rom on this forum and for me i ALWAYS find my way back to stock for me it just feels the most fluid and everything works like it should. like me you dont play games or anything and im no app hoarder.that said stock rom with francos kernel gives me the best of everything including color/gamma tweaks to make your screen look better with his app.
with that said i suggest to check out different kernels

Now, if we install franco's kernel onto the Stock ROM, will this prevent any future Google updates from being installed?

Updates in any form will show up in the forum and no need to simply rely on Google for them. They have recently released an updated kernel which I see being implemented by some rom developers and kernel developers already. Let's understand what we have here guys, a community of constant building additions/updates to our phones. So updates should be the last thing for you to worry about IMO
Also to me OP some of the questions you asked can all be answered with a simple Google Search, not that the answers given here are wrong but you would probably find more in depth and uniformed answers by looking it up.. Quite sure its on a wiki somewhere...

I believe he means Google ota's and yes it can stop you from getting ota's. Any modification to system. Whether you added or removed something will fail. You would have to be on complete stock for it to work. Just download yourself a nexus 4 toolkit. The latest factory image, latest drivers, and make sure you backup your internal storage on your computer. Use the tool to return your phone back to stock. Of course whenever you feel is tge right time to do so.

Oh no I fully understood what he meant and my point was simply people unroot or stay stock to wait for an update. Whether you are rooted or not the update will find you in some form. Either with a rooted stock rom or a custom rom but rest assure that xda will not let an update happen and its not on everyone's phone :good:
HI guys. So I'm trying to configure my phone for the best performance / battery for userspace. IE Internet phone apps gui GPS etc. Not looking for gaming tweaks or any thing like that just a powerful user tool. I have it on rooted stock tmobile klte android mm I have susuper and xposed framework installed as well as rom tool box pro. I'm looking to make this thing a beast as it is with the rom toolbox settings tweaks and kernel. I tried a couple modded roms but wasn't to happy with the way I need to use my phone. I'm looking for help not criticism lol. Thanks in advance and I'll post any relevant logs or current settings if any one suggests.
Since you have xposed, I recommend using Firefds kit. It has quite a large number of touchwiz specific tweaks that will improve stock ROM experience.
As for performance, there isn't a whole lot other than using a custom kernel, but most kernels out there are only for the g900f. You can play around with Kernel Adiutor, especially the IO stuff that will improve transfer speeds.

I've been playing around abit with build prop and the other stuff. The build.prop stuff soft bricked me a couple of times so until I do more research on it I'm gonna leave it alone. As far as xposed I was actually thinking of uninstalling it because ROM Pro toolbox is working pretty good I like the results. I need to find out more tho because I was having an issue with calls being dropped after a lil over a min but did a recovery and it seems to be OK. I really would like some advice on how to tune rom toolbox settings to make this thing scream
I finally rooted and flashed a good kernel, putting it under test ATM.
I wanted to ask if flashing the XXX NoLimits magisk module worth it and really improves the experience on the OP 8 Pro, since it's not a ROM, it's only a Magisk module (flash type).
I don't mean anything to the team, I heard it was great but I just don't want to mess my phone up with modules and other things, thanks

I used to flash xxx on the OnePlus 5, it was a full ROM back then but it was the best out of them all..
If the module is anything like the ROM then yes it's well well worth it, the developer gets so much right so for me it would be a go to ROM / Magisk ROM
I wouldn't even touch the optimization settings and stuff, no modern device needs them.
Maybe only debloat but that's it.

Id 100% turn off the page file no device with more that 4GB ram needs swap storage certainly not a phone with 12GB, the improvement in regards to gaming is night and day, so yep there is that.
Haven't flashed xXx so not sure what is on offer.
I have a saved config file from my time with the OnePlus 5 with xXx so I'll check on that and whatevers new.

Same, I have the 12gb RAM version so I don't think that any of these tweaks would really help, but I'll try some in the future, you know, we don't have much at the moment, the price of the phone is really high.
I run xXx with my own custom config on a OP8Pro 12GB/256GB with most tweaks emailed and zram disabled completely. Runs noticably faster overall. Snappier and launch times are super low. Also, even tho audio is good, the Viper + Dolby mod from xXx takes the speakers to a whooooole new level lol.
I always ran xXx on my old OP5 as well and it was great even tho I switched to Paranoid after a while just because I really love that UI style and customization. When PA Quartz is a bit more stable on the OP8Pro I will switch anyways but with xXx the stock ROM doesn't really miss anything that EdXposed and Gravitybox + Button Mapper + GCam can't fix like battery circle with percentage in it and flashlight shortcuts.

I rooted and flashed xXx along with Smurf kernel but I'm facing some issues with battery life, it's draining slightly faster than before. Other than that, the device is so responsive, fast and fluid.
I disabled zRAM completely and kept it all stock, that's the weird part but I hope I get better results this week. ??

That kernel is all about overclock and obselete poorly coded "tweaks" that are not need on a modern smartphone, especially not on Snapdragon 865.

You know better than me, I'm not much into these things but you know, one that says it's great and the other says it's bad, the only way to know is to test it myself.
I tested the kernel, it's close to stock in terms of performance but the battery in stock is better.
The reason I'm using it is because I'm running xXx module which is best with Smurf kernel but I might get everything back to stock and test another kernel without the xXx module. Any recommendations?
EDIT: I just flashed blu spark kernel, I'll test it and tell you how it performs ?

Haven't flashed it but tbh the 865 is a beast of chip, it can easily run Dreamcast ROMs which is just staggering really. To push the chip any further is just not required.
For me if you can obtain the performance you get from the stock kernel and save battery then go for whatever that kernel is, from experience on all my device save maybe the galaxy S3 the stock kernel usually provides the best balance of performance / stamina, all the more so with current chipsets.
Aim for battery, performance should take care of itself.
If you're pushing for more performance I would ask myself for what?
I personally push my device more than most, not all the time but the emulators I run are probably the most demanding programs you can get on Android, if I'm good with the output of FPS on them at stock then I think you'll be fine too.

You're right, even though I flashed some kernels but I didn't really notice any improvements in the performance, the device is too fast and doesn't need junk tweaks to be improved, but the battery is better now with the kernel I'm running. Thanks for advising me brother
