Bigxie is just the stock rom with root, superuser, busybox. It's not really any different which is why others will probably be better.

I am not that happy with the speed of stock 4.2. I think I am going to try one of the others. I don't want one that is too customized though, usually it breaks more things than it fixes

Android Revolution HD is as close to stock you can get. Almost all the other popular roms have mods like slimbean, liquid smooth, xylon, paranaoidandroid, etc. Have a look at minco. I've heard good things about them but not sure how much customizing they've done to the rom. I know at least the kernel is good since its Franco.

I'm giving Purity rom a try right now.
Was on nightlies for cm10.1 + latest franco for the longest time, but I find there is a memory leak after using a day or so and my phone slows to a crawl until a restart.

So I'm still running 4.1.1. and I haven't received any updates.
I tried the clearing google framework, checkin, check for updates and nothing.
Any ideas what I should do?

If you're on Yakju, wait.
If you feel comfortable fucking with your phone, root it, unlock the bootloader, and load a takju 4.2 build. Yakju is the Canadian version and is updated by Samsung whose reaction to timely updates is basically  | |

Installed Revolution 9.0 and LeanKernel 5.8. So far the performance and battery difference is instantly noticeable. Let's see if it holds up stability-wise!

The Nexus 4 has really crushed the re-sale value of this phone (and many others). It's amazing how a fully unlocked smartphone for $250 bnib that a year ago was $600 is now considered only OK.

I don't ever remember the GNexus being a $600 phone.
