I'm going to be buying a Nexus 7 in a few days and I was wondering what the best rom/kernel for gaming is
Games like Riptide, MC3, Asphalt 7, Dead Trigger are the games that I'm going to be playing
Thanks
There is no best anything. Try them all out and see which works the best for you.

this.
and i also recommend trying different kernels, they will make the most difference for gaming.
Honestly its more the kernel. I'm using pa with Franco and it keeps up with the best of em. I'd recommend Franco or Trinity kernel wise. And ROM is whatever you want.
Thread Closed
As explained there is no "best" Rom for any particular user, its personal preference. I suggest you take some time to read the dev threads and make your own informed decision. People have strong feelings over there favourite, so these sort of threads often end up in a flame war.

Right now, I am on Smoothrom 3.4, and am looking to either upgrade to 4.0, or instead, choose another one entirely. My other choices are Paranoid Android (Maybe Cookies and Cream?) or Glazed Jelly Bean. What do you guys think?
To subjectional. Everybody is just gunna tell you what ROM THEY think is the best and its just gunna be a bag of opinions. Flash one you like don't listen to what a bunch of others think.

All of them are equally good, just look at the features of each and decide which one fits your needs.
Ok fine, what do you guys recommend?
I like Paranoid Android, very smooth, awesome customization options, and very responsive developer (aaronpoweruser).

Can you update it simply by wiping cache and dalvik cache.?

most roms can be updated by flashing straight over the top. just check the thread, if it is a major update it may require full wipe first.
you can wipe cache and dalvik before, though more important is that you nandroid backup first!
seriously, try a few roms out for yourself and find out what YOU like. the beauty of a nandroid backup is that you can always go back if you don't like it
It really is very subjective. I've tried so many and it is very hard to really see the differences sometimes.
What is missing from stock that you want? Have you simply tried another kernel?
My personal favorites now are Codename Android and SmoothROM. Both are smooth, I haven't had any bugs that drive me crazy.
Definitely, you'll probably need to flash a few different ones to figure out what you like the most.
I normally do an ADB backup and then restore to put the apps back on. Since I use Nova, I just have to set that as my Launcher and majority of my settings are restored.
Which roms are bug free? I am in the same boat as opposed.. I know I could flash roms and decide but it's easier to ask and even though is personal preference it helps to know what you guys like.. it basically helps noobs siphon out the average roms from the great ones.. it does seem like the top are glazed, paranoid, and smooth Rom.. but please do give your personal opinions:thumbup:

No rom is 100% bug-free. Threads like this are a waste of bandwidth for the very simple reason that the answer is totally subjective. Hence, they are summarily locked as soon as a moderator catches wind of them.
While I can understand and appreciate not wanting to spend a considerable amount of time flashing rom after rom, questions such as the subject matter of this thread are as pointless as "what color should I like best" or " what should my favorite tv show be." No one can answer that but you. No offense, and I'm not singling you out with this, but "what rom..." questions come across as wanting to be spoon fed the answer rather than putting even a minimal amount of effort into finding the answer.
Invest a bit of time researching. Give at least a cursory glance to some of the threads in the development forums. Generally, the features of the rom will be detailed in the OP and screenshots may even be posted. Read the last few pages of the threads to see how the current version is playing out. Look at how much traffic the various threads are getting, comparatively, to see which roms might have a fairly large user base or have been around awhile.
I would recommend Paranoid Android.
Everything is great !:good:
I'm using [ROM][KANG] CM10 with Tablet UI and I'm very happy with it. All I needed was a clean and stable rom with Tablet-UI. This one has it all!

I appreciate everyones response to the question in this thread. as it helps me to know where to start flashing roms. Thanks everyone. i started with GlazedJelly( great rom). and now running paranoid 2.5 (another great rom) i like PA as it has the option for stock or tablet ui.
I'm an incoming newbie to the android tablet scene and am planning to purchase a Nexus 10 soon. I was just wondering which is currently the fastest (app opening, loading times, etc.) and smoothest (transitions, scrolling, etc.) ROM/Kernel Combo out there for the N10? I know that trying out as many as I can would probably be a better approach but any opinion or suggestion on the matter would be highly appreciated, especially by a total newbie like myself. Thanks.
Most over asked question. Use the search.

Might be true for other devices in this site, although I'm not so sure for the Nexus 10 device specifically. Thank you for sharing your opinion though.

Going by benchmarks alone that would probably be mrRobinsons AOKP Pub rom and KTManta kernel. What is smoothest in normal use is hard to say as people have different opinions but I don't think you can go particularly wrong with any combo. Personally I use mrRobinsons AOKP Pub and Trinity Ten kernel and have no complaints.

Wasn't really sure which category to place this question, being a newbie and all as stated at the beginning. My apologies.
Lol its all good I'm not to worried... Just not too often you see 2 threads with the same exact name right on top of each other
There is no best rom/kernel/theme/whateveryoucanimagine it depends on your personal experience. Just try and decide what suits you better.
Thread closed.
Hi guys,
One and simple question: - what kernel to use with stock rom on N7 3G 32GB, considering:
- A kernel that would not have to mess around with frequency and other settings without overclock and deliver a better battery life.
- For performance equal (or better) to stock satisfies.
- A kernel ready to install and no need to configure anything.
What recommend following these parameters?
:good:
Tks.
looking for a simple kernel, without many and many settings and deliver a excelente batt life
I am on smoothrom v5.0 using lean kernel and while I am new to the android modding community I tried 4 or 5 kernel/ROM combos before I decided on this combo. I will say I noticed my quadrant scores increase from 3600 to 4600 w/o over clocking and my battery life increased by a decent bit. I son,t know the exact increase but it was noticeable to me over stock setup.

20mmrain,
thanks,
Stock rom i think its ok to me, but i´m open mind.
Kernel for me its more important. I´ll take a look on this.
Tks.
Suggestion- read the kernel threads in the development forum and come to your own informed opinion.
Thread reported.
Hey no problem..... Give it a look..... I am not sure if you will get the same effect using stock ROM with leankernel nor am I sure you can even use the lean kernel with the stock ROM by itself. I know they have a thread here at XDA for this kernel maybe someone there can let you know.

I did it. And so I decided to ask the opinion. Most of what I read is always settings for experts, which I am not.
And do not want to spam the same question over all kernel threads.
Feel free to report without problems. :good:

I know that, and far way from me open a thread like that.
just wondering what is the simplest kernel, next stock, delivery parameters without the need for various tweaks!
Ask to ear the users opinions. I think sometimes simplicity can be the better choice, especially for non-expert like me.
Tks.
lean kernel and intersectraven's kernel. personally I like intersectraven's kernel better
edit: not sure about 3G versions though

Which one is better in terms of device performance and battery consumption ?
Cyanogenmod or Paranoid Android
In my experience they are both relatively the same battery and performance.

As is always the case in threads like this there is one answer.
Try them and see for yourself. The effectiveness of a ROM is usually a very personal thing based on how you use your phone.
Anyway where is the fun in only trying one ROM?

Cyanogenmod is the rom that mostly everyone bases their work/rom from. It's crazy stable for me, and battery life is really good. I'll use nothing other than CM.

To be honest, I hate backup/restore steps. As we know that installing a new ROM (in case of Nexus 4) means factory reset and complete wipe-up of the device.
One of the main objective of posting this query is to be save myself from this thing.

not true. aosp is what most base their roms on, even cm was first based on aosp. there is no best rom, only the rom that best suits YOUR needs. try them all out, find whats best for you. besides, for best performance and battery, you want to find the best kernel for your needs, not rom.

You only need to wipe on the first flash and after that 'dirty' flashing usually gives no issues (at least in my experience). Make a Titanium backup and you can restore your apps very quickly and easily (even faster using the Pro version).

Hello! So I'm sure you've been asked this question before, but I'm curious to see some updated answers since there is a decent handful of roms available for the S4-1337 now.
I am very much an Android gamer, I've been using the sixaxis application with a Dual Shock 3 controller since the application was released; and have been hooking my phones up to TV's since I could. It's essentially my "gaming console".
Currently I'm not running any custom rom on my s4, it's just rooted and using xposed framework with wanam installed (for stock touchwiz customization).
I however have noticed that no matter what I do, I won't get the speed and frame rate I desire with the stock rom; as it's just too heavy on the phone. I'd like the opinions of other Android gamers here about what custom rom they find is best optimized for gaming and overclocking (if necessary). Generally something that's lite but has a lot of customization that I desire.
I currently am a devout player of the Modern Combat series, other games are touch and go once in awhile.
Thanks,
Branden.
I just want to give you a heads up, this might get closed down as "best for xxxxx" isn't allowed.
My suggestion to you is to flash a slimmed down ROM or a ROM thats well known and slim it down your self. Also, the stock Google edition base is a goof foundation. Don't forget kernel settings tweaks!

Oh, I'm fairly new; should have read the rules before posting this question! Hopefully the "[Opinion]" part will keep it up.
Any specific kernel you suggest? I think I may use Cyanmod.

I don't really want to give out names as I don't love to play favorites but since your new.. I'd advise against CM/AOKP ROMs that are nightlies as I think they're not for casual gaming since commits change daily. @task650 tends to put out some stable choices for a ROM based on aosp. (Aokp).
For kernels I've found there is community favorites. Faux, chronic, ktoon. (No order). Try them out and see for yourself.

Excellent! I'll avoid CM based Rom's for now than, and try something that won't be updated too often.
As for the Kernal, will try Chronic first I think.
No need for favorite's, just opinions. ^_^

Good choice, task puts out good work I'd say since he takes the best commits and builds them in, compared to cm night lies were new changes are merged in..till a stable release (RC) build is put out.

Wanted to update you and let you know I did go with tasks ROM and his underwear Kernel. Very lightweight! Though I may flash a different kernel, for better overclocking potential. Decent fps increase while gaming and zero interface lag. Thanks so much for the support febby!
