4.2 Overall and Gaming Performance, Custom Kernel?

[Steveletack]

Hey Guys,
Ive got a couple of questions.
I bought my N7 like 3 weeks ago and enjoyed it alot.
But after the 4.2 Update i'm kinda dissapointed. Due to the reason that i dont want to do a fullwhipe because ive got like 5 gigabyte of Games and Apps that i dont want to install again(meh slow internet) i wanted to know if one of the currently available custom Kernels will give me the great n7 4.1.2 expirience back.Also the gaming performance in Games like Spiderman or Asphalt 7 is really bad, not even close to 60 fps (i think so ^^)Or you would you suggest me doing something else like flashing one of the 4.2 Custom Roms (Cleanrom etc.).
I really like the tooglebar so dont really want to go back to 4.1.2. Any other suggestions are also allowed .(Note: My question may sound nooby, but i have got my Moto Defy where Custom Roms really increase the performance a lot and so i dont know how it is on the N7)

Gameloft games will not run at 30 fps on our tablet. They haven't optimised them for multi core processors such as ours. However they did plan to fix that since the introduction of the nexus 10 tablet. However its only 30fps all normal games are locked down to that only mad finger games such as dead trigger, shadow gun etc run higher and with fluidity. No kernel is going to fix that. In fact I've had much more success with the stock 4.2 kernel than any other available. Its actually the first time I haven't felt the need to use an alternative kernel.

Ok thanks
and how about the overall performance, will it increase if I use either one of the Kernels or Roms?

I suggest staying on stock. You might wanna flash a stock ROM. Maybe even try rasbean I've been on a stock aosp built ROM and love it.

You seem to be every other post in that thread, so I would say yeah . Trinity or Franco are the most popular kernels

To the OP why not use a backup program for your apps/games? Also a Nandroid backup will give you the ability to go back to your current set up if you don't like the change after flashing a kernel/rom.

Before flashing a kernel load a stock kernel you can flash back to.

I agree with the post above that says they are biased on suggesting a kernel. I think a better place to find a good kernel is in the thread for the ROM you want to run. But even better read through the kernel threads.

So i switched to Cleanrom and Trinity Kernel, didnt improve. I think i have to wait for a release from google.
