The new team BAMF wrong is sooooo buttery! Running very smooth and stable for me
Ive been using Paul Obriens Jr# ROMs. theyre just tweaked stock ROMs, but I have never had a single issue so far and with every release there are new features without any new bugs. which is always nice.

How much smoother can it be than stock jb? Seems like people are getting placebo effects from custom roms, only benefit I see is removal of bloat, if there is any really.

It ships with stock so run stock for a few weeks to establish a baseline for stability and speed before you go experimenting.
I would wait a couple months. Stock nexus 7 runs great. Just unlock and root it. After a couple months Roms will start to mature and you will also see which ones seem to be leading, me personally, I love to flash. But I, very happy with stock and nova launcher. There are some things I would like from full tablet ui. But every ROM is promising the world. Just waiting to see which ones take the lead.
So just wait for now. no rush, do you hate stock that much?
Edit:
Plus people are having some issues booting into recovery without a USB or adb

Have tried just about all the popular ones out as of yet, favorite so far has to be TeamEOS' nightlies. Very stable, UI works great, launcher rotation, and has the ICS style status bar, which I prefer.

I've been using the Pure AOSP rom, I used the stock for a couple of days and then switched, never looked back. There aren't a lot of differences between stock and the Pure AOSP, but the AOSP rom provides a cleaner starting point and the camera works by default.

I'm currently running stock, I just rooted and unlocked so I'm set whenever the stable full roms start kicking in. No need to rush it, just stick with stock for now

I think you are right about that. Although I flash Roms on my galaxy note, I could not see the need on the nexus 7 because it runs better than any ROM I ever put on the note
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I keep trying new ones in hopes that it will somehow get even better, but keep returning to stock.
Nothing is as smooth.
Currently running stock, rooted, deodexed. With the tabletUI mod. Nova launcher. awesome.
I'm running BAMF Paradigm. It's absolutely an amazing blend of custom features that offer visual and performance related options to really make it your tablet, I'm very happy with it, I've run several others also. DEFINITELY recommend Motley's kernel, it's one of the things I love most about the nexus 7. Also Aaronpoweruser's (sp) cookies and cream rom ran really good for me.
Just go for a different kernel rather than ROM, I tried out Trinity today (only got the 7 yesterday) and I find its quite slick..

There isn't a best ROM for anything. But my personal favorite is Paranoid Android. It gives you the option of tablet mode and lets you change DPI on the fly.

Paranoid has never given me any bugs and runs super stable and smooth for me. Nothing against stock JB, but Paranoid blows it out of the water with options and it runs just as stable on my N7.

I use Codename Android and it is the most customizable. I tried Paranoid Android and I hated it. I couldn't customize anything and I hate tablet UI.
If you like Paranoid Android but want the large amount of customization that Codename Android offers, you could also try this ROM, which is a combination of Paranoid and Codename. It looks awesome and I'm planning on flashing this soon.

There isn't a best rom. its all personal preference. Take some time and read the rom threads up and you will be the only one that knows what you consider to be the "best" for yourself.
Hey All,
I'm looking for a rom and having trouble figuring out which one will best suit my needs. Typically, I would just download a bunch of roms and try them out, but I'm stuck in China with a low data ceiling on a very slow connection for the foreseeable future. I really need to be like 80% sure before I download.
I've been running CleanRom since the summer, and that has been a great experience, but CleanRom is no longer being developed, so I'm no longer up to date.
I want something with integrated tablet mode, and I would like something with a volume slider in the notification tray. Wifi toggle switch would also be ideal (I prefer not to use apps for these features). Aside from those features, I just need the most stable rom possible. Additional customization isn't necessary. In fact, pure stock outside of the features I listed would be great. And I'm obviously not looking for nightly builds. I want something to throw on here and leave on until the next Android update.
Does anyone know a rom that meets this criteria? If you have suggestions, I would love to hear them, and then I'll go read some threads.
I really appreciate the help.

Check CM10 with Tablet UI, it should fit the needs you are looking for.
I have been using it since last 4 days and its been stable.No issues yet.

Check Glazed Jellybean here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796668
I've been running this rom since 1.1.2 and have been very pleased with it. My current setup is Glazed JB 2.0 with the included Franco kernel, and Nova Launcher Prime for a launcher. I'm also using Pimp My Rom 2.0 for additional tweaks, but from the sounds of it you may not even want that.
Good luck in your search.

You want a solid rom? Team EOS is going to be your best bet. Very minimal isnt loaded with a bunch of crap you wont use. Has its own toggles however are kind of an eyesore IMO. You could just use an app to do the same thing i recommend "Extended Controls" Its a dollar.. but well worth it. LOL reread your OP oops.. :S
Also if you have the pull down.. and swipe in the middle to either the right or the left.. it will swap the Date and clock to a volume slider on the left and a brightness slider on the right .
The only problem I've had with this rom is the oft mentioned error about invalid glazed 2.0 init.. and it's more of a minor nuisance than anything. Functionality does not seem to have a problem, and I'm sure the message has something to do with Glazed being based on a CM nightly.. a bad integer table entry perhaps. Either way, my overall experience has been great with this setup.. buttery fast, and buttery smooth.

I am looking at the Rom's and am itching to flash one to go with the Matrix kernel but I don't know what to choose!
I was looking at "[ROM] Android Open Kang Project - MAKO - JBean 4.2" but never ran AOKP before so I'm unsure. Then Cyanogenmod has the nightlys out now so I could flash an official one from the website or go for KonstantineKeller"s "[ROM] CyanogenMod 10.1 Unofficial - Mako - JellyBean 4.2 [NOV/25/2012]"
Stock is treating me very well but I never ran stock in so long, I always ran Cyanogen or Viper rom on my Sensation!
I like the customization of the custom Roms but am worried about stability.
I am stuck in a swirling torrent of indecisiveness... help.
Waiting a week or two for more mature CM10.1 and CM10.1-based ROMs.
I do have my bootloader unlocked and CWM installed in preparation, though.
I've got my circle battery mod, and pretty soon I'll flash a kernel so I can undervolt a little. If someone comes up with way to use the volume button for music controls, I won't have any reason to flash a new rom. gotta love stock android.
I think I'm staying stock until a proper CM or AOKP rom goes out, I had a Galaxy S3 and the CM and AOKP overall experience is/was pretty bad because of the propietary drivers. So until N4 gets AOSP, no custom roms for me.
but tstock nexus 4 runs simply great, so at least for now, it's ok.

Yeah I'm still on stock too. Just came from the HTC One X running CM10 and really enjoying the smoothness of stock on the N4. Only things I miss are the music controls from volume rocker (skip forward/backwards) and the theme chooser.

I'm with you too. This is the first time I haven't had the urge to root and flash from the get go. Android 4.2 really is great and I am only missing a few features from aokp. I will however root and flash as soon as we get stable aokp because I don't want to deal with bugs and instability issues on my sunny new device.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I am going to stay stock until I make sure all is well with my device. Besides that I actually like it just as it is.
I will also wait until some ROMs are stable and as bug free as possible. I don't want to have my device not have the front-facing camera or Bluetooth not work properly. Or some other issue.

I love Paranoid Android I have been using their rom ever since I had a gnex... and it's been running just fine on my N4!
Within an hour I was up and running with Paranoid Android. Such a simple device to unlock/root/flash etc especially with the tool kits. My first Android experience was with a HTC Legend where you needed to make gold cards and stuff. Wasn't complicated, just a lot of steps. Thankfully I moved to a HD2 which was a breeze to do most stuff.
With the N4 it was just download a program, install the press, load up the program, answer a question or two in relation to what build you have and the application updates. Press option #8 which does everything (unlock/root/flash) then about 5 minutes later you have everything done for you.
Cunning official CM10.1 nightlies. Quite stable, haven't had a problem as of yet.

Does anyone know of a pretty much stock AOSP rom with Tablet UI? Optimizations are fine and welcome, just no (or very little) mods. So no AOKP or CM rom's please.

Well, Paranoid Android has a fair number of mods, including tablet UI. It's a great ROM with a lot of convenient and really nice features and especially so for the Nexus 7. Why don't you want many mods?

"just no (or very little) mods. So no AOKP or CM rom's please" PA fits into that mold as well, sorry.
Because I don't use the features on AOKP, which I've been running almost since it was first released. Other than tablet UI and 1% battery.

I've tried CM, AOSPA, PAC and finally SlimBean and combined with TabletUI, Xposed framework and Holo launcher the latter one is what I like most!
Eeehhhh. I use PAC-Man. It's not the most stable thing in the world, with it's occasional fast rebooting. But, I have never seen a ROM with as many customization options as this. Throw your favorite CM theme, and your favorite icon pack for Apex or Nova launcher, maybe play around with the transparency levels and colors on your Navbar and status bar, and then... Then you have a thing of beauty right there. I like it, even though it has it's quirks.
