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.

Im currently using Android Revolution HD, It seems ok but i expected more customization, I see almost no difference, Does anyone have some suggestions?
I've been looking at TEAM EOS 4 but noticed it's for 4.2, Would this work with 4.0.3?
Thanks in advance.
It isn't "for" 4.2, it is 4.2. You're going to be completely replacing 4.0.3. I've been using EOS 4, and think it's excellent. I tried the other CM 10 based JB ROMS and always went back to ICS because of issues. EOS 4 is more than stable enough as an everyday driver, and it got me interested in my TF again. I had been mainly using my Nexus 7.

Sorry for being a noob I installed my first custom rom yesterday, So i guess it's safe to install it? Would i need to "superwipe" before installing the new custom ROM?
No Superwipe. Just wipe data, cache, and Dalvik before installing. Don't forget to flash the latest GAPPS too. Many people also flash the KAT kernel. Your best bet is too read the first few pages of the EOS thread and follow the tutorial in the OP.

I would also recomend APEX Launcher with EOS4 as well. seems to run smoother then default lancher and it really opens up the customations of the tablet.
I am going to root my nexus but am not going to install a custom ROM because what am running right now is fine but I want to install a custom kernel to remove the lag and have good battery life also stability someone please help am new to nexus 7 but not too rooting or installing customer Roms

If you are not the new to flashing then you are not new to xda and should know we aren't just going to hand things to you if you don't wanna do it yourself. Try them out and find out what you need.

Could just browse around the forums, people tend to advertise their kernels quite a bit in their sigs.
I'm a noob to tables but have done many flashes to my phones. My main question is, I'm rooted and ready to flash a ROM to my Nexus 7 but I'm confused about a few things. I'm running firmware 4.3 so do I need to flash a ROM that's made for 4.3? I'm interested in the Carbon ROM but it doesn't state that it for 4.3.
I'm interested in a stable ROM that has a lot of customizing options. Any suggestions?
Thanx in advance for helping out a Noob!

ROM = Firmware
Flashing ROM = Flashing different Firmware
If you flash a 4.2.2 ROM over a 4.3 STOCK ROM, then you will have 4.2.2, and nothing about your device will be 4.3
just to verify, you have the old Nexus 7 right?
Yes, old Nexus 7. Thanx! Now I feel comfortable trying some Roms.

There could be partition issues when you have the wrong one.Like there was with the 4.2 update.If you flash a 4.2 rom onto a 4.1 bootloader your whole data will get moved into another /0 folder

The nested 0 folders was a recovery issue, not a bootloader one. Neither CWM nor TWRP could initially deal with the new multi-user directory structure. Koush and Team Win promptly updated their recoveries to resolve it.

I've been very happy with RasBeanJelly. It has a good cross between features, speed, and light-weight. It tends to be quite stable. I ran it for about 7 months, until I decided that l decided I needed more excitement in my life and jumped to a bleeding edge ROM. Depending on how the new ROM does/does-not develop, I may go back.
Before you go changing ROMs, make sure you are ready. Then make sure you are really ready. After a couple of times you may actually be ready. Look around, and you will find some guides. Here's a good place to start: Flashing Guide. The biggest issue I have had is making sure I have a good BACKUP and RESTORE strategy that works.
Good Luck,

Slimbean 4.3 beta 3 is pretty feature-rich and is a beta in name only...it's been rock solid for me. Get it at www.slimroms.net
Thanx for the ROM suggestions! I been running CyanogenMod Ver 10.2 Unofficial and I like it but now I'm ready to try some more Roms. I've got the hang of flashing stuff again so now I feel comfortable trying some new 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
There are some cm11 daily builds for our devices. Which one do you recommend to use? Thanks.
İ think you dont use cm11.. İ suggest psx rom.. Fast, smooth ve stable.. You should try it..you will like it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I second this question. I've seen around 5 unofficial CM11 builds. Of those, which one is good?
Side question, so far, which 4.4 ROM works the best?

İ am using psx kitkat rom.. While i using 4.3 i was using. My favourite is psx rom.. Exactly you should install and live speed
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
the "what is best" topics aren't really allowed on this forum.
OP is asking about CyanogenMod, not PSX.
You should use Euroskank, it's the next closest to official ÇyanogenMod.

Most of them are going to be nearly identical unless the builder has added their own changes. I personally use these, just make sure you choose the ones tagged 4.4, as the poster also does 4.3 and 4.2 builds on a nightly basis.
I'd recommend building your own, if you're capable.
I normally flash whichever one is the most recently compiled. Got to have the latest version right? On the odexed version by Bruce and i think it's the best performer bit i always like euroskank. Always had features before they are merged
