I run bamf paradigm and the pure asop rom most often in that order but everything I've run including paranoid has been really nice.

Paranoid is killer on the N7! I love it and I would definitely recommend trying it. I had no problems flashing it.

I currently use Jr7 simply because it is very similar to stock but with a few nice tweaks. This is used with Motley kernel with GPU @ 520mhz.

i am using the new paranoid that he posted today with the trinity kernel. i dont know how i feel about this kernel yet so if you guys have any other suggestions as for kernels id love to hear them. it just seems to be a little laggy but i dont know what else it could be. didnt have a problem before flashing that kernel.
id also love to hear what you guys think of the slim bean rom. im tempted, but i love the paranoid roms.
thanks for your responses!

Try CodenameAndroid its a very nice ROM and has loads of customization options yet they don't get in the way.

Stable/smooth ICS Rom

hey, i just got a nexus s 4g (sprint). I was wondering what ICS roms are most stable and quick? There are quite a few and i was just wondering what people thought. I just want a rom for everyday use, nothing too crazy, maybe OC and UV. but i dont want any with soft reboots or anything.
thanks
I would go with Crossbones

Does anyone read nowadays...
crossbones is good and stable but so is oics and gummy nexus. Gummy nexus has the software buttons like the galaxy nexus

My current favorite is AOKP Milestone 2, which has cool features above and beyond the rest and has presented Zero issues.
Vhgomez 1.5 and sph33r's aosp are very, very good as well.

Trinity kernel thread

I've tried them all and I think that Kaos Droid is excellent. I use it with the Touchwiz theme (included) and it looks great. It's stable, fast, smooth and elegant.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I'd say Paranoid Android is the rom you should use. Kaos Droid is not that good. I used it for 2 weeks and when I dumped it I understood what I lost.
Codename Android - stable, regular updates, and a decent sized download for a rom that includes a substantial number of extra features.
You will not get a fast rom. The only thing that can make a rom seem fast is sped up animation's or completely disabled wich you can do on any rom. To make anything faster you need to find a good kernel. There are lots of great oms and kernel out here. Have a try yourself and see what you like best.
I prefer paranoid android for the tablet ui. Along with faux kernel or trinity.

XenonHD
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.

Thanks for all the great advice. I really like Paranoid Android, so I'll try Cookies and Cream.
I'll also try some of the kernels.
Thanks again.

Best ROM in your opinion?

Yes, there is no best rom, but everybody can have an opinion, right?

Well, and what else
Running stock at the moment, had no problems' very snappy.
I like Paranoid Android but almost all are very similar and the devs have done a great job on all the ROMs.
Sent from my Nexus 7
Used codename android and then it became slightly buggy. Running XenonHD and it's smooth and stable. Loving it right now.
Will have to see when 4.2 ROMs get uploaded but so far Xenon finally removed the blue grids around home screens while moving. Left over from tablet UI and I just hate it and CNA still has it.. Don't want to use alternative launchers either.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I feel they are all about the same. PA really is in a league of it's own if you want to utilize their features.
I jump around every few months/weeks. Basically waiting for 4.2 to drop at this point.
AOKP when I feel like tweaks
For performance, eos or rasbean ever since I've learnt to tweaks and theme things myself, I have been not needing the tweaks of ROMs like AOKP
Resbean for now, zip aligned, odexed, tweaked up and super fast

I wanna try RasBean, any bugs so far?
You should change the question as "best rom/kernel combination" since rom's pretty much depend on the kernels to perform well.. Franco R25 is the best so far for my taste and Glazed rom is the pair..

[Q] Best vanilla style ROM?

Hello all,
My GF is getting the Nexus 4 soon and I was hoping to improve the phone as much as possible for her once it arrives. I used to have a Galaxy Nexus running Franco Kernel and Android Revolution which ended up being a beastly combo. I'm hoping something similar exists for the Nexus 4... Awesome battery life with an improved, but still stock, ROM.
Any suggestions?
Well the Nexus 4 is pure vanilla. So i would say stay stock with Franco kernel
But I would recommend Cyanogenmod + Franco kernel

RBJ has a well liked vanilla rom...

I'm extremely happy with Rootbox and Trinity kernel. Feature-filled, fast and stable.

No, I'm using stock speeds and interactive gov.
GPU is overclocked a bit by stock on Trinity, and CPU is undervolted a little bit.
