[Q] rom with fully working project butter??

hello,
just want to know if theres a fully working project butter rom? i.e tripple buffering, vsync, etc etc
ive used both galaxy nexus and nexus s... and theres a huge difference in ui performance..
im new to this forum and number of roms available is huge and its difficult to try out all the roms..so just want to know if theres a rom with fully implemented project butter......

you sure it doesn't have anything to do with the extra 200Mhz or 512mb RAM??
i'm currently running bb7 and it's pretty smooth/fast... RasbeanJelly was hands down the best experience i had with a ROM on this phone... it just lacks some features i want and bb7 has them and does a fine job too...

I'm sure there's an app on the Store who gives the phone another core, can't remember the name now though...

I FOUND IT

Disappointing performance.

So I have the US version and I've had it for a while (about a month) and I'm really disappointed with the performance. Scroll lags, the notification shade pulls down smoother on a galaxy player (that has less than 500mb of ram and is single core) and the 3d gaming performance is laggy. Like GTA3 should be able to run on max settings! Just disappointed and expected more.

OK? Why post this? Why not just get a new phone? Have you tried any other ROMs?

I played Tactics Ogre on my phone and Dead Trigger with no problems. Plus with most ROMs I don't encounter the same lag you have experience.

Maybe Powersave mode is on...

Sorry, the rest got cut out for some reason. I was asking if anyone else had this problem.
And a new phone is not an option. My family is on forclosure on the house right now so I might just cancel my data plan and use this as like an iPod.

Idk man, I've not had much lag at all. I've been rooted since the day I got it of course, so I've been running custom ROMs for a while.

Try flashing Cyanogen Mod from the original android section. General ui is much snappier and it doesn't have game lag like all the 4.1.2 TW ROMs.
Samsung really dropped the ball with the 4.1.2 updates. A phone this powerful should not lag playing temple run.

I get some lag while playing ingress and minecraft. Kinda annoying but it's better than my old phone and I hope my next is better than this one.

Are you running it stock? Phone runs great with custom stock ROMs & Kernals, but everyone has their own opinions. The games i've played ive not have any lag, but i'm running a custom kernal and ROM. That probably has is the difference, but i'm not overclocked.

well there's only two things that are certain in this world.... no tech device is ever perfect and taxes always increase.
If you expect anything different you will always be disappointed.
That being said, I had ANdroid phones since the HTC Eris and they keep improving. S3 is really nice, maybe the best of this generation, but its not perfect.
Lots of people are looking for infinite gaming speed + infinite battery life... well the two don't go together. There are always trade-off. speed vs. power, vs. size, vs. cost.
Oh and by the way, multi-core is mostly a marketing gimmick. The GPU does most of the graphics work and most apps are not multi-threaded, so a fast single core beats a slower multi-core every time. It's cheaper to make a slow multi-core processor than to make a faster single core.

I also noticed lag on the device which i put off was caused by Touch Wiz. I confirmed this when i finally rooted and started trying different ROMs.
The lag is there in all TW ROM's for me; however if you really want to stick with TW, the smoothest running TW ROM I've tried so far is Goodness. That is what i'm currently using. I don't experience lag during gaming or Apps though even with touch wiz... so might be just your phone.
However, if you can do without touchwiz, the AOSP ROMs are like butter and i experience no lag at all. At least the 4.2.2 ROMS. I've tried Liquidsmooth, paranoid android, Pac-man and Chameleon.

Crazy I'm 100 % stock and my phone runs awesome! I don't do much gaming so I can't chime in on that but I don't have lag at all like you describe. Do you have a live wallpaper installed??

I've tried a lot of the TW based ROM, Synergy, Hyperdrive , others and all the well developed one's run great for me. I don't see any lag. I also tried CM10 and no noticeable difference, I think a lot of the comment are caused by placebo effec, some people just hate OEM stufft. Also people will load up their home screens with 3000 widgets and say wow this phone / rom sucks, LOL m Then they load some new ROM with no widgets yet and go, wow this is really smooth....... until they load 3000 widgets and it sucks again. Hey , there really is a limit to performance on any phone.

Is my Nexus 5 a defect? Slow CPU performance.

Hello everyone,
I have taken many benchmark tests and all of them fell short of a Galaxy S4 and even some other Nexus 5s. Here are screenies:

The first Nexus 5 I had I noticed this! Antutu would show it on comparable performance with the HTC One X! I swapped phones unfortunatly but I have another Nexus now. Haven't run any benchmarks but Minion Run runs like crap

Benchmark apps run horribly on this phone. It throttles way too soon. That said, benchmark apps are useless. Nearly all major brands are known to "cheat" on them by temporarily boosting performance above what you would normally get during use. Especially Samsung.

like what was said above, dont trust benchmarking apps. They are pointless. Download cpu spy and better battery stats and see what running when at what cpu speed. as long as your hitting top cpu clock at some point (like when playing a game), the hardware is more then likely fine and probably just needs some kernel tuning to get it to your liking

That said, there are people who get amazing results... One last thing to note, Franco kernel hates my phone. I get random reboots at normal clock speed 2.3ghz. Or is it my phone...?

It depends how many apps are in teh back ground, the phones temp, and all kinds of stuff. I have gotten as low as 17k and as high as 29k.
Also - I don't think the majority of benchmark apps have been optimized for 4.4 yet.

Depends on your requirements for phone usage:
-Gingerbread rom = battery last mosts, lowest battery drain, not very stylish, used for watching movies or gaming for it's around 200MB free Ram and long phone usage with Wifi.
Rom i recommend: GingerSnap from neko95's blog site.
-IceCreamSandwich: this one has a little less battery life and free ram, but it has better UI, greater app compatibility, It's something between Gingerbread and JellyBean.
Rom i recommend: IcySnap again by neko95.
-JellyBean: if it weren't for the big battery drain - expecially when on Wifi, I would choose this. You definitely need sdext script for its low free internal storage, will experience some stress when you need to do something fast but your phone start lagging as hell suddenly. Oh, wifi teathering has still some issues. Definitely not for gaming. But I'd still go with this if it weren't for the big battery drain.
Rom i recommend: CM10.1.6, get it from my thread "Jenkins" or search for "jenkins armv6" on google.
If it's for your GF why not stick with stock rom?

For GB, I experience OXYGEN by popdog is very smooth and fast for gaming in particular compared to Neko's GingerSnap. Of course, need comprise on UI.

Kitkat themed...why didn't you've said so in the beginning..
There is a Kitkat themed ROM based on latest stable JB, Link will be given in next edit.
Edit 1: All the ROMs for P500 have built-in kernel, you don't need to flash another kernel cos the build-in is probably the best for the ROM.
Edit 2: Here's the link .

LOL, I just going to say the same rom as MW, the themed kit kat 4.2. It has a all the features (specially the bluethooth working), and has kit kat experience. But battery is not as draining as you said, yesterday I went all the night with 5%. The wifi is the only battery killer, but otherwise not too much. I use the one power guard to save battery and is the heaven.

Well the Kitkat is based off CM10 and yes, CM10 has the biggest battery drain.
You wanted Kitkat themed alike and noting comes close as that ROM, still no-one said it would be perfect
If I were you, I would just get ICS ROM and get some Kitkat theme for homelaucher and theme manager. Satisfy both battery and kitkat UI

I've a Nexus 4 with Doctor's Hell Kernel and I can't get rid of it because I can't active Systrace... Any tip?

unfortunately we require systrace to be enabled on the kernel. you may recompile the kernel with systrace enabled, or try with another kernel.

This is one great app! Nice work!
While playing a game using gamebench, there are some laggs and stuttering. I think it is cause by gamebench. It is quite similar to game capture software running on windows though.
Anyway I like it!

are you running android 4.3? there's a bug that causes stuttering when taking screenshots. you can disable screenshots in the settings
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

is there a way your app can tell the user the optimal settings to play the app. ex dead trigger ( your app tells us that) it needs to run on a high frequency and lower gpu value that you are currently on.....

no, i am on 4.4.3. these aren't major stutterings. just like a decrease of fps in comparison with the smooth feeling without gamebench running. although gamebench tells me 55 fps average. i've tested subway surfers so far.
