The screen wake delay has been a problem for a while now… it’s definitely not the seeder app. How is the app working for you now? And how did you root your Note II? I’m supposed to get my Note II replaced already because I cracked the screen and just waiting for the new one to arrive…

I’ve rooted my GNex before and other phones but I believe there’s not easy method for the Verizon Note II? Or am I wrong?

here’s a true test, HAS ANYONE INSTALLED THIS ON AN OG DROID (A855)?

My Gnex definitely does seem more snappy than it usually is, I guess the only way to test it would be to get a timer and time how quickly apps load with the mod and without it. But then again that process isn’t that accurate unless you rig up something code wise because you’d introduce human error.

Thanks!

I needed an excuse to root again. One day in and the Droid 4 has not had any noticeable lag at all. Maps seems to fly. I’ll do a side by side with the wife’s stock droid 4 tonight

My GNex (toro) seems to be on par with its usual battery life…. stock battery, SlimBean 3.0, LeanKernel, a number of background apps. I’m at 85% after an hour on battery with 25 min screen time. Haven’t gotten a chance to do a full day test yet though.

(4G radio is OFF btw)

It wouldn’t do anything as it requires root access in order to run it.

Ah. That I can understand. Mine was noticeably laggy at times after using Chrome for a while with multiple tabs open or after playing games. Now I don’t see any of that lag. If it is in fact a placebo effect, I welcome it!

I installed it on my friend’s Sprint Gnex without telling him (he’s running JBS like us) and wiped cache and dalvik, then gave it back to him and then asked him how it was running and he said “It’s been running pretty fast the past few days” and I asked him if he noticed anything now and he said “not really” then I told him what I did and he said it does feel a little faster, so there really isn’t a way to tell if this is placebo or not. The gains are probably minimal and only really apparent if you’re looking for them, but then again that could just be psychology.

I had to manually install the files because the app didn’t install them on my Gnex. But I read later that the app apparently “doesn’t touch /system” so I’m not really sure how it works. Also the Zip didn’t install anything either, but then again I later read that you have to do su;seeder after you flash it to get it to work. Placing the files manually was a surefire way to make sure that they worked.

Android System is reporting high battery usage with this running and it is draining my battery faster than normal.
