I don't want to over-generalize based on one data point, but on my Galaxy Nexus I noticed that 4.2 pretty handily undid all of the improvements that 4.1 managed in this arena. It was indeed a paradise of smoothness for that one point release, though.
- igravious 13y agoI did not notice that. You could very well be right. It'd be nice if Google could release some cold hard performance figures. Maybe I could, er, Google it.
- thrownaway2424 13y agoIMHO 4.2 should never have been shipped for the Galaxy Nexus. Just too slow. I upgraded to a Nexus 4 and 4.2 is fine there, but will 4.4 be fine? Nobody knows.
- yareally 13y agoI'll be building 4.3 for the gnexus after it syncs, so we'll see how it is.
- yareally 13y agoAnyone wondering, it's performing faster than 4.2 on the gnexus imho. Battery life is the same though. Superuser is problematic unless you undo a change in one of the /davlik files[1]. That makes the system partition mount without nosuid as it did before Android 4.3. The other solution is uglier, using SuperSU (which is closed source) and runs as a hacky service that most apps are not compatible with yet.
