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?

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..

Hundred percent agree. I have Paranoid Android on there just for the Tablet UI changes. I have found that Kernel Improvements do help drastically.

plain old pure aosp. its clean and fast, with the trinity kernel at least

I've also found that Glazed is the only ROM of the one's that I've tried so far that let's me use Amazon Instant Video from the Amazon web site.

Best Rom.?

I'm asking the nexus 7 community what is the beat stable rom? I'm rooting &now thinking about flashing a rom if stable will keep as a daily driver.....

I'm running stock, but am rooted with Nova. I'm going to wait for some Milestones from AOKP. I've tried some Roms but none of them are as stable as stock at this point.

I'm a fan of the paranoid android ROM by Molesarecoming. He's building the thing blind and it's still phenomenal. App-by-app layout ui as well as most CM10 features.

I'm running EOS because they have a great standard dpi tablet mode.
Paranoid supposedly is great and Liquid is always a favorite...
Paranoid may work well for me but Liquid doesn't have tablet mode. EOS is just simple. It feels like stock with a few simple eye candy options for the navigation bar. It just works well.
Overall you should do a nandroid and just go crazy. Everyone has a different opinion and features they like that runs well with their unique setup.

My first vote goes to Kaos-Droid, just make sure to include the apex launcher on v 3.1 in Aroma, otherwise you have issues with superSU and have to manually input network id's, bit besides that, super smooth & stable,great ROM :thumbup::thumbup:
If you want something cm10 based, then my vote is glazed job by hyper runner.

Best Nexus 7 ROM With Tablet UI

What's the best ROM currently with tablet UI? I know it's a matter of opinion, but I still want to hear it.
Google Wallet should also work as well.

So far paranoid android is smooth for me...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I'm curious about this as well. Been looking at Paranoid Android mainly.

Paranoid is the best way to go.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I am very happy about Paranoid

Definitely paranoid because some apps look really wonky with tablet ui at 720px, but with PA you can customize the layout of each individual app which is awesome.

Paranoid is amazing though I wish i could use other ROMs with paranoid features
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

Paranoid working fine for me. Like the per-app customization.

Stock works fine too.
IMUI has a really different and beautiful UI then all other ROM
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

MIUI is terrible for the Nexus 7. I love it on my S2 but too many phone features are still present in the Nexus 7 MIUI build. It feels half-done.
Paranoid Android is very slow but the UI customization is good.
I'm tempted to go back to stock though because it has been the smoothest and best battery performance rom for me.

PA 2.1 is good for me

Team Bamf
I'm using team bamf paradigm v2.2. Seems to work really well get really nice battery life out of it.

TeamEOS
The TeamEOS ROM works quite good for me.. I would recommend it to everyone! :laugh:

The AOKP nightly ROM is pretty awesome.

Just ordered my Nexus 7 today, this have been sort of helpful...lol.

EOS has a dead simple Tablet UI option. Just check and forget. It uses the same DPI as stock so you dont have any comparability issues like other methods. I haven't had a single problem running in tablet mode regarding apps and games. PA gets good rep too but EOS simply just works so good I can't come off of it.
Battery is also simply amazing. I unplug at 8 when I go to work and will still be at 100% when I get home if I dont use it. I unplugged the N7 like 20 minutes ago and on XDA and still at 100%. Absolutely no complaints.

Have you flashed a Rom or stayed Stock?

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.

Trying to stay stock until a stable Paranoid Android ROM is out.

Running paranoid android for 2 days now. System has crashed twice but it instantly comes back. It is amazing though. You will not regret flashing it now.

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.

Running CM10.1 Official. Works better than stock..

I completely stock at the moment. I'm very content with it. Hopefully there'll be a PACman ROM soon, I liked that on my Xperia Play.

What is the current best ROM?

I have a new 32gb Nexus 7 to arrive at my house in an hour or two What ROM should I install? I am a set it and forget it user so I will be using this ROM for the foreseeable future. I mostly want to maximize the performance while keeping a stock feel.
Thanks in advance.

Stock.

Solid aosp rom it's frequently updated and has great support if anything were to go wrong.

you really should try as many different roms as you can. there isnt a "best" rom. every user has different needs and every device will prefer some roms over other. so whats best for someone, might be worst for someone else. thats said, i prefer the rasbean jelly rom
