Set your CPU min to the lowest it can go, pick the max you feel comfortable with and set your CPU Governor to ONDEMAND. It’ll coast at the lowest speed when you aren’t really doing anything and it will blaze up to the max set when you are playing intensive games or buffering through HD videos. My Galaxy Tab 10.1 is set Min 214MHz, Max 1.4GHz and with ONDEMAND, I can get about 2 days of use without having to plug in until the I go to bed on the second night.

I started using AOKP at the build before M4 and never had any of these problems. We are now on build 28 (which came after M4) so there have been quite a few updates since M3. I’d give it another go, it has been flawless on my GNex.

Thanks for the reply Roman.

GNex 1 (mine) – Lots of random reboots. One time, reboot got stuck on pink unicorn and required battery pull (waited about 20 minutes). Sometimes when selecting the stock SMS app, other apps would open instead.

GNex 2 (wife’s) – main issue was during voice calls, the screen would start to flicker and then the far end could not hear her anymore, even though the call stayed connected. This was a recurring issue and she is on conference calls for work every morning. She struggled through it for a week before I got enough time to back everything up and pick a different ROM for her.

Both devices were running Milestone 3 with included Kernal and no other mods. I know that reporting issues like this doesn’t help you without logs and such, but I don’t have any. Probably the reason I didn’t report them on Rootzwiki. I love using ROMs but I don’t have the time to track my experienced bugs and report them properly.

Great work by the way! There were several features of AOKP that I truly miss on Bugless Beast, but we’ve both been running very solid now for two weeks without any issues. My wife I won’t mess with much anymore. Considering flashing her back to complete stock when VZW releases 4.0.4 and above.

I’m currently keeping track of AOKP and a few other ROMs to try on my GNex again when I get bored of Bugless Beast.

Take care,

Matt

One of the things I have really noticed lately on many different forums is that a growing number of people seem to feel entitled to have anything they want either given to them or have it cost very little. If you don’t think his ROM is good enough for you to give a few bucks to help him keep working on it, then STFU and go ahead and remove it from your device. I get tired of whinny little bi#%hes complaining that they have to pay for something or that it is too much and should be free/cheaper.

he originally said codenameandroid is a dev-thief and copy & pastes s**t and then said its not the copying that bothered him, it was the fact he asked for (and received) donations for his work.

you freaked out over nothing haha while commenting on some article on the internet

This was in response to someone claiming that Roman doesn’t ask for donations. I personally run AOKP and have donated myself. Does Roman deserve it? Yes. I think you all took my post as being negative. Which I did not intend.

Anyone have a custom kernel recommendation for Kang #25? Battery life help needed.

I am not sure if anyone else noticed but my battery life is noticeably more than stock version. My favorite ROM on GNex….

Thanks for your work,

Aokp is the main reason of owning a Galaxy Nexus I used to be all about some Cm but haven’t looked back since January. Great work Roman and nice interview.
