Hi all. I've had my mob off & on for a while and decided to upgrade to SlimBean ROM based on recommendations - after having decided a new ROM would be the best way to improve performance, and assuming that the latest one would be the best.
I've found the performance to be equally sluggish after a week or so of bedding in, and I'm still using the same low number of apps.
Two questions:
1. Are others out there experiencing snappy, low-lag, fast, fun mobile computing on this device while rocking the latest android build, either stock or with a custom ROM?
2. Are any others out there rocking older stock/ROMs to minimise OS overhead?
2b. or old/custom apk versions of apps to decrease bloat?
Cheers in advance

All I can tell you is my what works for me......
I broke my Epic 4G Touch so I had to activate the Nexus S 4G until I pull the trigger on a new phone. I went with the Stock rooted 4.1.1 and Matrix kernel overclocked. It runs much faster and with less lag then my nephew's NS4G running CM10.1 ROM. I showed him the difference and he is (I will be) flashing it back for him.

Interesting, thanks Steve.
What are you like regarding apps & widgets? "The bare essentials" or "everything I want"?
I'm resurrecting this phone for a friend, and I'm also wondering what ROM to flash.
All I can tell you is that when I upgraded this to 4.2 last year it was unusable, especially with Google Now enabled. The phone simply ran too slow on anything 4.x for me - perhaps consider using a 2.4 ROM?
I haven't had a phone have call quality or sound quality anywhere near the Nexus S since. 2.4 + Voodoo Sound was good stuff.
Slim 4.3 beta 1 with greenify app. That's all you need to keep it fresh all the time. And use slimsizer to reduce bloat.
And don't forget to enable "Allow purging of assets" and "Kernel samepage merging" in Settings>Advanced Options>Performance>Memory Management

Thanks. Is that beta stable enough for daily use? I assume those memory management options are only available in the 4.3 builds, as 'Performance' doesn't appear to be an available option.
Am I right in thinking there's a list somewhere of which apps I can safely remove with SlimSizer?
And is greenify similar to LagFIx, or is it worth having both?
Cheers!

Yes it's stable enough for daily use. Don't change kernels (for now).
Those memory management options were present in Cyanogenmod ROMs way back Jelly Bean 4.1 so they're present on most non-stock ROMs. (different location in settings menu)

Been on Slim Bean 4.3 Beta 1 for a day now and having no issues. The ROM image is only 84 mb, I don't think you'll be needing SlimSizer! Use the memory performance settings, they make all the difference. I'm not using greenify or lagfix yet, so far unnecessary. I'm pretty amazed this is running 4.3 as well as it is.
Just run rasbeanjelly and matrix done!

A question: the installation info says:
Step 0: You must be rooted!
Step 1: Download the Busybox installer app and install the Busybox to /system/xbin
Step 2: Reboot to recovery and install the BM.Tweaks.NEXUS.S.zip file.
So my full Rom upgrade should be:
1 full wipe (means: wipe data / factory reset and format /system)
2 install Slim 4.3 ROM
3 install Slim 4.3 gapps
4 Reboot
5 install Busybox to /system/xbin
6 Reboot to recovery and install the BM.Tweaks.NEXUS.S.zip file
7 install LagFix & Greenify (for reference. they should auto-install for me through the play store)
Anyone think the above process is in the wrong order or any parts are a bad idea or clash with each other?
Cheers for all the tips guys, this is feeling like a pretty useful thread!
I have been using Custom Rom's for a while. But this is usually to bring a phone up to the latest possible Android version well after the manufacturer has stopped updating a device . I have been using Nexus devices so typically this is 18 months after a model is first introduced. Bit of a sore point with me coming from iPhones which get supported for much longer period. but I digress.
In the case of the Moto G. I question whether it is beneficial ATM to install a custom ROM? I have tried a couple, but have been quite disappointed up till now with reliability and performance.
So for now I have stayed with the standard Moto G Rom. Then tweaked it a little by doing the following.
1. Unlocked the phone
2. Rooted using TWRP (couldn't get CWM to work right)
3. Eliminated the Unlocked warning screen at start up :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548530
4. Changed the 3G data to H, H+ format :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600654
5. Installed Qualcomm-optimized bionic and dalvic from here :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/4-4-4-4-x-qualcomm-optimized-dalvik-t2546120 (thanks @drfr )
6. Installed a new Faux123 Kernel, flcon_umts-faux123-kk-005u-signed.zip from here :- http://faux.romhost.me/falcon_umts/kk44/
7. From Play store installed the xposed installer
8. From Play Store added module Gravity box (KK)
9. From Play Store added module Ringer & Notification Volume
10. Installed the Apex launcher
11. From Play Store purchased Faux123 Kernel Enhancement Pro (couldn't find a free tool that worked!)
Result is a very stable ROM together with most of the little tweaks that I like to get from a Custom ROM. Plus everything works great. The current Antutu result is 19860.
So my general question, what is the advantage of using a Custom Rom, when for at the moment at least, the manufacturers ROM is fully up to date and with a few simple tweaks provides Custom Rom like appearance, together with great stability and performance?
As far as I know, the stock rom has a lot of optimizations for the Moto G hardware. For instance, its based on F2FS which is something the GPE Moto G does not have going for it.

That´s exactly the way I see things too. Played around with custom ROMs for a while and then came back to stock + all the enhancements you mentioned. Just a note to the point 5 of your list. Optimized dalvik and bionic are already included in stock ROMs.
I have this way of thinking too. So just going through the steps 1, 2, 3, 7, 8 and 10. My phone is excellent.

Thank you, I didn't know that, funny but I could swear that Antutu improved! I am still trying to decide if Point 6. Faux123 is really worth it. The 1.6gh/z over clocking is working and I am still getting two days of average use per charge. Can't decide either way really......
Same here, at this point, custom roms (non stock based) are non sense, since the stock is almost Aosp and updated as hell. Xposed is all you need.

All you need is Xposed, Faux kernel and the optimized Dalvik :S

Great antutu result. Mostly due to the overclock. CM based roms doesnt have working overclock yet.
Im far away from that 19860 antutu score, any tips? I installed faux kernel and optimizers from qualcomm and cant get even close to 18000.

True. But its for now and that is because this is a brand new phone also with multiple variants like 1031/2/3
Hence creating a kind of obstruction for a successful ROM dev
Furthermore you don't just dev a ROM to get an Android update.
Its for the different features that people are looking for.
You might wanna try xposed modules.
Hell l0tta options there. Not for now but then for future.
Also then small little tweaks from other phones can be ported to this one.
There are just countless things that you can customize once you are rooted.
I had a Galaxy Ace duos CDMA which had no custom ROM.
But once I got it rooted my phone was so much better.
I had an extended internal memory with my SD card.
The bloatware that covered the small little internal memory was completely removed.
And it was so much faster and Functional with those rooted apps.
If that small little phone could do some magic with rooting.
Then this is a beast.
Half the new functionality that we get on the updates are actually the features of apps that work on rooted phones.
Wifi hotspot for an instance.
Agreed that in the current scenario its really not so useful but rooting your phone is a gift to yourself

How you guys were able to use Faux with Dalvik? Faux only works on my phone with ART. If i try Dalvik, com.android.phone force closes all the time. I also have tried the new dalvik, no luck either.
And that prevents me to use XPosed, cause it doesn't have an ART version. And i really miss GravityBox...
Can someone explain me how to do it?

Hi,
I decided to post my own topic and not in the CM11 thread, because this is probably not a CM11 issue. As you know, the Nexus S has only 512MB of RAM including video. Mine has been having quite a lot of slowdowns (apps refreshes/restarts) for the past weeks. I am wondering what I could do to help it and avoid buying a new phone (no money and I still love that phone).
However now, there are few things that I can't do anymore.
- I can't listen to BeyondPod (podcasts) and receive/send SMS in Hangout. There's not enough RAM to run both apps and even when I am listening to BeyondPod, the SMS alert might not trigger when a SMS is received. This happens in few apps here and there.
- Sometimes, someone calls me and the screen stays black so I can't answer. Again, this is due to RAM usage.
- I use SwiftKey as keyboard and it can't take 30-45 seconds to load in some apps such as Chrome.
I am running CM11 Nightlies. I usually update CM11 once per 2 weeks with the lastest Nightly available. I don't wipe the entire configs, I just upgrade. It's been a while since I've wiped everything to be honest. I probably updated CM10 to CM11 without wiping the configs. This might be one thing to try but I am not sure if it would help to regain some RAM/juice. I am running the stock kernel of CM11. I know there are few kernels with a bigmem patch, but does it really work ?
As for launcher, I am running Apex Launcher as well with SwipePad. Greenify runs in the background and hibernate pretty much every apps it can. I don't have the Greenify donation package, so it won't hibernate on the system apps.
I am wondering if wiping everything and installing a stable version of CM11 (or another lighter ROM?) would help. I would use TItanium Backup to reinstall the apps and their settings. I wouldn't use TiB to push the configs of the ROM if CM11 is reinstalled. Would a kernel or ROM with bigmem patch a good idea ?
This would probably be a temporary fix, because apps and ROMs are asking for more and more CPU/RAM these days.
Thanks for any input,
Neo.
A clean flash isn't a bad idea, just backup your rom first.. Backup your apps/ data on your SD with titanium backup and then you can just restore them.. You could try my stable v1.1 script and use Guru (CM kernel with bigmem) or Devil and you will notice the improvement.. Also the CM m9 is a very nice rom.. Happy flashing..

Thanks for your answer Setting.Out.
Before I receive your answer, I did some research on my side as well. It turns out that I have downloaded your ROM (the Farewell edition) and the cn.fyodor AOSP 4.4.3 ROM. I decided to go ahead and install the AOSP ROM instead of yours. I wanted to try AOSP instead of CM, being a CM user for the past 2-3 years. While I was satisfied with the AOSP ROM for the past day or 2, I am now unsure if I will keep it. While performances are good compared to what I was used to, I have some issues. The videos in YouTube are lagging like crazy (although videos in VLC work fine) and the audio stutter sometimes. I listen to a lot of music and each few minutes, it will stutter for a split second. I never had that issue with CM11. Also, I can't find a kernel with bigmem on AOSP. There is the marmite kernel from bedalus which seemed promising, but everyone is having FC with the Google Play Store and BLN/BLD isn't working anymore on this kernel.
How does your ROM compare with CM11 ? I know yours is CM based. Is there less "bloatwares" in yours ? CM install lots of stuff (themes, bugs reporting, etc) and I don't want that. I prefer to use the Xposed Framework instead of a ROM with multiple settings that I don't use. Having a CM based ROM would be nice to be able to flash the Guru kernel.

It basically is CM11, a little less bloated, but similar feature set.. Give it a try, you can always flash another rom if it doesn't suite you.. Slim 5.1 is another favorite of mine, if you'd like to try that one you'll need to search their thread as it wasn't a public release..

Your "Farewell edition" is Kitkat 4.4.4 or 4.4.2 ? So that I can download the appropriate Gapps. I also understand that the Gapps you provide in your thread are a minimal package, so my Nexus S doesn't run out of space (which happened to me few months ago due to the new official Gapps package).

I am looking for a custom ROM for my Samsung Galaxy S II Plus (GT-I9105P) which is faster than the stock ROM.
I installed Liquidsmooth 3.0 and tested the speed and its working perfectly now. Its based on Android version 4.4.3. But the camera app is actually really bad; the pictures are always blurry. I guess something is wrong with the focus, because it works fine with the original 4.2.2 Samsung Camera App. I found out that I can't restore the app because Liquidsmooth (Andoid 4.4.3) doesn't support Touchwiz Apps.
Even the apps from the PlayStore are not as good as the old SamsungCamera App.
So here's my question: Is there a fast custom ROM (preferred a popular like LiquidSmooth) which is baised on 4.2.2? Or are there others who have also problems with blurry pictures in 4.4.3 and have a fix?
CWM 10.1.3 has a lot of bugs, like no vibration, so I don't want this ROM. LiquidSmooth 2.3 is baised on Andoird 4.2.2 but there is no Download Link for the SGS II Plus / doesn't supported? Or does the Phone model even matter?
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!!

But isn't cwm a Rom created for more personalizing and not for increasing speed? I am worried that it's still slow or is it the speed compared to liquidsmooth?
Lollipop ROM runs on ART runtime, it's much more effective than Dalvik-based.
So far 2 weeks of use no lag at all, back when I was using Paranoid Android 4.6 or CM11 M12, there were some lag sometimes.
Battery life is more awesome than before. In previous ROMs, I don't use GPS and ended up like 30% battery by the end of the day.
With Lollipop, I use GPS 24/7 and ended up 30% battery by the end of the day too.

I am looking for a custom ROM for my Samsung Galaxy S II Plus (GT-I9105P) which is faster than the stock ROM.
I installed Liquidsmooth 3.0 and tested the speed and its working perfectly now. Its based on Android version 4.4.3. But the camera app is actually really bad; the pictures are always blurry. I guess something is wrong with the focus, because it works fine with the original 4.2.2 Samsung Camera App. I found out that I can't restore the app because Liquidsmooth (Andoid 4.4.3) doesn't support Touchwiz Apps.
Even the apps from the PlayStore are not as good as the old SamsungCamera App.
So here's my question: Is there a fast custom ROM (preferred a popular like LiquidSmooth) which is baised on 4.2.2? Or are there others who have also problems with blurry pictures in 4.4.3 and have a fix?
CWM 10.1.3 has a lot of bugs, like no vibration, so I don't want this ROM. LiquidSmooth 2.3 is baised on Andoird 4.2.2 but there is no Download Link for the SGS II Plus / doesn't supported? Or does the Phone model even matter?
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!!

There is liquid smooth 3.2 (4.4.4) fyi,. you could try the new google camera from the play store. There are other kitkat roms that are also excellent(sprit,axxion,PAC,PA) should you think Lolipop is too buggy, but you cannot installed touchwiz apps on a custom rom, regardless of android version.

Okay thanks a lot for your answer. I decided to update to Cm12 with Android 5. It's pretty good so far and the developers bring new updates very quickly.
Hey guys, I recently had to downgrade my Xperia to kitkat since it softbricked, and now I'm wondering if I should go back to the marshmallow rom as I previously were, or go to Lollipop.
What do you guys think is the best rom in terms of stability, battery life, camera, etcetera?
Marshmallow IMHO.
Lollipop, battery life, if the phone is not in constant use - because of the old STAMINA mode.
The only real downgrade in mm is the caching and ram management. Everything else is in favor of marsmalmall.

This and battery life is bad too. I will probably go back to LP. Caché managment is really bad.
Battery, multitasking and almost everything but has a very annoying bootloop/"can't-be-turned-on" bug that makes this phone unusable : LP 5.0
Stability, memory management, but has a bad battery, auto brightness bug, and lockscreen lag bug: 5.1
Almost perfect Software (and camera shutter animation which I liked lol) but with outdated version and less great UI : 4.4
Could be perfect software, with horrible RAM management and less greater battery : 6.0 (if only the multitasking is as good as before, this will be my best, stable software on any phone I've used, despite an "okay"-performed battery life, not as insane as 5.0, but I could live with that).

You can't universally enable SD Card support for every apps like in Kitkat or Lollipop, instead you need to use this Xposed module work around: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.balamurugan.marshmallowsdfix

Anyone can change things on there rooted phone but this doesn't change the fact that this current version of Sony's mm lost SD card support and kit Kat never had it either

Then, I'm failed to see what SD card support that you think is lost on MM comparing to LP or KK.

You seem very confused You know that LP has SD card support and Sony's current official version of MM for our Z3 doesn't so unless you think everyone roots there's Z3 or that it comes rooted then I don't quite see where your coming from I'm not currently rooting my phone cause I was no longer able to hide root from my Telus on the Go live tv app so I chose live tv over having Root with all the exposed modules added.

I am using the concept mm and it has an option to make your SD card internal storage
