Hey guys I just got my second nexus 7 (dropped/shattered my first one) and I have been away from the forum since.
I just wondered what everyone thought as far as which ROM and kernel was best for daily use.
Honestly the most important feature for me in a ROM is the kill app feature (aokp or long press back).
As for a kernel, im looking for a well balanced performance/ battery life.
Thanks guys for your input.

If you know that already why did you start this thread?

I like Team EOS's nightlies. I'm using faux's latest beta kernel too with the new CPU driver. Can't comment on battery life personally (although faux's new kernel has reports of better battery life), but performance is quite nice.
May or may not be the best combination though, it's just what I'm using now.
I'm a big fan of Paranoid Android. It allows you to choose between phone, tablet, or phablet mode for every app. Also, it allows you to choose between small tablet, large tablet, phablet, and phone workspace.

That said, I definitely agree with ÜBER.

These threads always turn into bickering fests and drama which is never good. Nothing against you OP but I have to close this one as nothing good ever comes of them unfortunately...
Just search around and read all the threads and its pretty easy to get an idea of whats best or used by the majority.
I prefer balanced battery and peformance. Please advice. Thanks
All kernels work differently for different people. Try a bunch and see what works.
-Brought to you by Marino's Nexus 7-
Franco kernel lets you overclock the gpu to what ever you want (416-750 and anything in between) so with that in mind you can create your own balance of battery vs performnce.
You cant overclock cpu but honestly it isnt needed.
Also with his latest release r25 th whol devive is much more responsive. Touchscreen etc.

I'm on stock. I can't deal with sods. It's fast and battery life is good.

There is no real answer for this. Everybody has different results. For better battery focus more on the kernel. Try one for a few days, then another and compare performance. Keep going until you find what best fits your needs. Remember there is no overall best, but rather best for you.

Kernel, is more important for battery life, than just the ROM, plus your settings and apps make a huge difference too.

I've tried CM, Minco, Xylon, PA, the best I get is CM with franco kernel of course.

Which CM ? Official Nightly, or something like SlimBEAM ?

Official nightly usually is more cutting edge, but the M builds are more stable and would probably have better battery life.
Third Party Cyanogenmod, like SlimBean will most likely have lower battery life due to adding additional features, but like the other individuals said the kernel is more important than the ROM itself. A ROM can only be as efficient as the kernel itself.

More features does not equal less battery life..

im looking for a smooth running rom for my nexus 7. What rom/kernel combo offers a lag free experience? thats also quick and at least average battery life
Try them yourself and see. User experiences varies differently.

I'm an indecisive **** in general that uses data to make some decisions. However, there are so many options on the Nexus 4 that the data is getting me overwhelmed (should have seen my spreadsheet before I deleted it), lol.
So, just wondering what other folks use if you primarily game on your phone?
I will say I keep finding my way back to slim, at the sametime though I don't really feel like it's the one so always end up flashing a couple roms.... Then coming back to slim, rinse and repeat 10 times a day.....
You can use any rom you want for looks and customizations. For kernels you should try Trinity kernel by Morfic. It's great for gaming and everything else.

I have tried Trinity, not sure my phone likes it (fast bin) as it seems to run extremely hot for me.
Carbon + Franco
Personally I use carbonrom and matr1x kernel with overclocked GPU. This combination has run perfectly for me. So much that I have not even thought about flashing anything else for the best part of a month which is very unusual for me
