Stock or Custom Rom? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I like the stock rom on N7. It's much better than the stock rom of Galaxy Nexus. What are the benefits for installing a custom rom?

Paranoid android will give you more options and a full tablet UI. Best rom imo.

What's the best way to try a new ROM?

I'm running Glazed and really like the ROM but interested in trying others. What's the best approach in doing so?
Is there a way to make trying out ROMs "easier"?
Haven't used ROM Manager before, and have read mixed reviews.
Appreciate the help from the wizards on this site.
Make a nandroid. And flash a new rom, don't like it.... restore your nandroid.

Jelly Belly equivalent for the nexus 7?

I've been having lockups and restarts on cm10 so I've decided to go with a more stock rom. Which rom would be most like jelly belly for the galaxy nexus, a stock rom with me mostly speed and stability improvements.

all of the factory images are here. https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi
Use the stock/factory rom and then try different kernels.
I just started using Codename Android. It has more of a stock feel with improvements and tweaks. I've been liking it so far, as I didn't want to stray too far from stock JB.

ROM opinion

So I have been rooted on stock for a while now and want to flash a rom. I have a few that I fancy but wanted to know what you guys are using. I really want to map my HTC button as well.

For stock experience you could go for ARHD or Trickdroid mate.
For AOSP you could try rootbox or AOKP.

Tried all available Roms and stuck with ARHD. It's stock experience but a little snappier. The AOSP /AOKP Builds from my opinion do have to much problems still as the battery life is not what I expect from the phone. Also I don't want to miss ZOE
Cheers guys is the tbalden kernel compatible with ARHD? Really want the HTC logo mod
Use Trickdroid is fast, with tweaks and themes.
Using the OrDroid and ElementalX kernel.
Please just try the ROMs for yourself and read the threads.

So is it worth using stock everything 4.3?

Or is their stable kernels or roms already? Also what exactly is the benefits of roms? Never tried it before only kernels
Roms just give you more features and on 4.2 I used custom kernels because of bad battery life but stock 4.3 kernel is awesome in my opinion. I'm running cn10.2 unofficial because I like extra features (quick toggles,etc). Stock is a very good choice if you don't care about that stuff

What do you mean by 'right'? It's just personal opinion which one is better.

Friend it solely depends upon you try the Chameleon Rom if you happy continue or revert back to PA. I haven't tried Chameleon would like to test it but for this I wont create a thread asking people "Should I try this rom ?? Should I change to this Rom ? etc"..
Try it and take your call. :good:
I tried chameleon ROM and did not like it. Its different, but I did not like it
