I have a question, I just got m nexus 4 and unlocked the bootloader, rooted and have cwm recovery. I came from a samsung galaxy s2 and ran cm10 on that phone and can understand why to run aosp on a samsung touchwiz based rom, BUT why go cm10 on a stock google rom? Besides adding a reboot menu, what does cm10 add extra? How much stability can it actually add to the phone?? Any input?
Also just wondering if franco kernel will work with stock rom?
I've always been a fan of going straight to CM10 or other custom ROMs with my previous phones to improve performance. With the N4 I feel that the stock performance is more than adequate and worth hanging onto. However, in my case, I really like the quick toggle mod that someone made which allows the quick settings tabs to become quick toggles instead of directing you to the settings menu. For this reason I decided to go with the MoDaCo custom ROM Because it is essentially the stock ROM + advanced power menu + quick toggle mod. It's perfect for me.
This go-around I'm going to give CM10.1 a couple months to turn into a 100% solid/bug free ROM before I consider switching to it. Right now people are reporting random weird issues with it such as invalid timestamps on text messages & issues with Wifi.

Adds much more than a reboot menu. Many of the CM10 features still haven't been merged yet either.
My main reasons: I prefer the CM toggles to any app substitute, Profiles, Quiet Hours, the notification light implementation, I'm a bit of a Theme Chooser whore.
There are substitutes for all of those things, but I prefer to have it as part of the system.
There are still quite a few things that are missing however, but they're working hard on making them ready for 4.2.1
^^ Quiet hours, good call. I forgot about that. It is a feature I definitely miss but can do without for now.
Well OP, you kinda answered your own question. It's the features of CM that makes people want to use it. It adds more functionality. Like what someone said in the thread, it's still being merged so it's a work in progress.

Honestly, sometimes I question when the Android team will just start rolling in certain CM features by default.
CyanogenMod has features built in that is not offered on stock. On stock,you would probably have to download several apps just to get the same functionality that CM has.

FWIW I haven't had any notable issues on 10.1 with the exception of the back button not exiting the browser a couple of nightlies ago. Has been very stable thus far.

Agreed. Really liking the nexus 4s screen. It's going to take some time getting used to the blacks, the blacks on gn definitely looked better as my beautiful widgets widget looks weird now. But for brighter colors and for viewing videos, the color reproduction for the ips is pretty astonishing.
Hopefully PGM makes it way to N4, that kernel module was so fun to use on my GN.

Is it worth worth flashing to Paranoid Android or should i stay with my stock rom?
That is really up to you I personally use AOKP but each person has their own preference. Just back up your current ROM and settings and flash away try a bunch of different ones figure out which one works best for you
I tried PA as it's very popular but there were unfortunately a few turn offs for me. I tried it a few times hoping I might like it but I couldn't.
I am not a fan of any tablet UI on my N7 at all, I use it exclusively in portrait mode (games aside). The main settings page is hard coded to display dual view. The sub menus can be changed through DPI settings. Also on the home screens, there will be a blue box around the home pages as you scroll. No ability to change lock screen colors.
I'm just picky like that and it's all cosmetic. If there were more options, I would of given it more of a chance. I really wanted to use it but couldn't. I went back to XenonHD.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
PA just somehow didn't suit me and my nexus 7. The tablet ui feels way too cramped, and per app layout sure is neat but I never quit bothered to use it, stock works fine of not better. Of course, it's just my personal opinion, why don't you try it out yourself to see what's what.
Is it possible to flash it without full wipe?

It depends on what ROM you probably come from (if you're coming from AOSP, most likely you have to full wipe; if coming from CM10 or CM10-based ROM's, you "might" not have to full wipe).

Just make a backup and you can easily flash back to where you were if you don't like PA. Otherwise you will have to set everything up but you can use titanium backup to save your apps and restore them.

A lot of people say that it is the most customizable rom for nexus 7, so if you like the 'personalize everything' idea check it out, you will love it.
For me, PA works slower than other roms and is focused on customization, i dont really prefer it. I use SmoothRom now and it is acting great so far.
I love it so far, the only rom I've ever used but I am noticing the slight speed decrease and as time goes on I'm liking phablet mode more and using less of its features so I might look for something "more pure" soon.
That's my 2 cents

I'm running Cookies&Cream (PA/CNA hybrid) and its definitely faster than the CM10 nightly builds that I was running.
So I received my Nexus 4 today, I'm upgrading from my Galaxy S3 which I was running CM10.1 on.
I've been looking through the settings on the Nexus 4 and I've noticed that there are a few options that I'm used to seeing in CM that aren't in the stock version.
A couple of things I'm missing:
- the power toggles in the drop down (I specifically like the torch accessibility)
- I think there are less LED options?
- simple things like the battery not showing as a percentage
- with CM10.1 I get 5 options for lock screen shortcuts
Does CyanogenMod run as well on the Nexus 4 as the stock firmware does? I never really tried TouchWiz on my S3, but CM had a few bugs where thing would randomly crash, occasional network issues, and the need for daily restarts.
I could probably get a lot of these things from apps, but if CM runs just as well as the stock does then I guess I could root and install CM.
Also I enabled LTE on my Nexus 4. Does this cause any problems?
I honestly don't know about CM, personally have never liked it, so never bothered with it on this device, but for apps that'll do those things, I've two you might could try.

Just got a Nexus 4 last week, Love the phone but it does rattle and I take it most people think it's the SIM tray rattling or something in the camera, but it isn't. It's the earpiece grate. If I tap the back where the earpiece is, it rattles loudly and if I hold the earpiece while in a call, it doesn't buzz. The buzz isn't interference, it's the earpiece grate vibrating.
Anyways, that's not what this is about and I rarely make calls so the buzz isn't an issue, I'm rooted, running CM10.1 stable and TWRP for a recovery. I modified the build.prop to allow lockscreen rotation and now I am wondering about rotating the on screen buttons. On my Nexus 7 when I hold the tablet in landscape the buttons rotate to the bottom of the screen, but with the Nexus 4 they stay on the side and just rotate the actual button images, as if you were holding a phone with capacitive buttons.
I'm basically wondering if there is something I can, preferably in build.prop, so that the buttons rotate to the bottom of the screen, because I'm so used to that from my N7 that having them on the side is weird and annoying.
I saw AOKP has that feature, but CM doesn't. You may consider switching to AOKP. If not, try to find a mod or something.

I prefer the stock feel of CM10.1 with minimum customization. I don't like Paranoid, AOKP or PAC so I won't switch, I was hoping someone might direct me to a mod. I did see one for the Galaxy Nexus, but it involved some heavy framework modifications, which I can do, but I'd like one intended for the Nexus 4.

not to polute your cornflakes but thats a pretty wild assumption you have there. pac, maybe, but all the other roms? its either the same or less. cm isn't minimal, they have the heaviest framework of all because that rom needs to run on legacy devices. a nexus rom comes with a stock aosp image and extends it. same goes for the features, cm has ALOT and much or most of it is not stock and/or does not follow the principles that make stock what it is. im kinda used by these statements and im willing to bet thats your first nexus because in that case you should take what you know about roms and flip it upside down - things are *very* different on this platform, if not opposite.

It's not my first Nexus device and clearly you have no idea what I meant. Have you seen the number of options and features in Paranoid Android? AOKP? PAC?
My point is, is that CyanogenMod is the original custom ROM and all of these other ROMs somehow borrow from CyanogenMod and all of them, except maybe AOKP, have more features than I'd ever use and I don't want them on my device. I also own a Nexus 7 which is rooted, running the latest CyanogenMod build with the latest TWRP and bootloader and it does exactly what I asked for in this thread, so I was wondering if it's possible to do the same on my Nexus 4.
If you compare the degree of customization provided by AOKP, PAC and PA with CM you'll notice that CM lacks plenty of features, which doesn't bother me in the least because I don't use most of them. I'd also like to know what you mean about CyanogenMod being made for legacy devices affecting all builds of CyanogenMod, seeing as how CM builds are cooked from the stock device sources and Cyanogenmod sources, AKA exactly what you just said...
I think moles knows a little something about ROMs

Does anyone have an idea?
I've been playing with this tablet for about a day now and I must say, I don't think I've ever had the feeling that I didn't need to Root for any reason, but this tablet just works so well out of the box that I'm not missing anything in terms of performance or applications.
I was just wondering if anyone decided to forgo the flashing/rooting/roming process because the tablet just works.
Amen brother. So good out of the box... Just tasted Google Play Music as well... Wow! Almost don't even need Nova Launcher with stock JB 4.3 haha I might not bother rooting this time round unless something really uber comes along
Well I do think it is very nice out the box. Smooth and snappy. So, yes stock is good enough for me right now. I have root and recovery, so if some custom rom comes along and it looks interesting, I may try it out. However, until that image is released, everybody is going to be pretty close to stock. The only thing I don't like is the toggles/tiles don't work like they should. I tap the wifi tile and it opens the settings for wifi, not turn it on. Not a big deal tho...
Nope. I need the custom re-boot menu and quiet hours and I can no longer live without Pie.
THe stock worked perfectly tho. I had no issues at all.

Action Launcher doesn't count in this discussion, personally. It's basically good enough to kick the tar out of launchers on just about any framework you'll ever find (although it does look a tad out of place on my otherwise Sense-running HTC One).
Mostly yes, but I still root because I enjoy using Greenify and there are some other behaviors that require more permissions than stock Android will give us. The inclusion of the app permission manager though is quite wonderful.

Long hold. They reversed the behavior from 4.2. Short tap = settings, Long tap = toggle on/off. Quite honestly, I prefer it in the 4.3 way better. I really don't turn off WiFi or Bluetooth, and having to go settings -> wireless -> bluetooth to get to the bluetooth settings was a bit much.
I root for the couple of apps that need it, but I run stock otherwise. Did on my original N7 as well.

Thank you for that brilliantly enlightening post.
I am happy with my stock setup right now. I am unlocked and rooted though. I also tried a couple of kernels but I am back to stock kernel. Same with ROMs. I will continue trying new ROMs but will keep using stock for now. My ultimate ROM will be a stable/clean ROM with Tablet UI.

Stock rom will be good enough until all if not all issues are resolved with the CM. Till then, ijust have my N7 rooted for titanium back up and other misc apps that require root.
Stock is good enough for my needs, but I installed CM anyway just to get that little extra

Running stock + Root + Extra Power Menu
At least right now that is good enough since its so quick. I'd like to try out other roms or have a good kernel but going to wait til more testing is done with what is out there and get some of the bugs worked out as I've tried them but get mixed results for performance and stability. Right now stability is key and performance is very good as is stock, but more is always better, in due time
I find I miss the little things CM had. For example when downloading. In stock the arrow stays there constantly lit, it doesn't do the animation.
Thing is, it might look and feel smooth, but it can always get better. Rooting and custom ROMS just simply allow the further enhancements, customization, smoothness, and potential to save battery life. I really don't see any reason not to Root/use custom ROMS for any case as long as your comfortable with the process. Maybe if the device was used for business i could understand that maybe, but for personal usage why not take advantage of whats out there instead of settling for less? It's not like it voids your warranty anyways when you can always restore it to stock before turning it in.
To be honest I cant see how anyone can live without some of the great things that require root
Linaro/03 optimized kernels
Overclocking
PER APP DPI
Trickstermod
Rom Toolbox
Lux autobrightnes (If you read books on this puppy it's a must)
Fully featured equalizer - seriously this needs to be universal on all devices
SD Maid
Titanium backup
Custom toggles, and AOKP ribbon controls
Custom boot animations
...Stickmount (don't you need root for this?)
And thats just off the top of my head stuff that I personally use all the time. So I guess most of that stuff could be run on a "stock" setup, but where is the fun in that. What is the point in investing in suck an awesome dev device, and not loading up on the fantastic tools that have been made possible through the hard work of XDA's members?

Only problem is the bezels. They are too thin!! I literally can't type on this thing. Its not the size of the screen, I used to run a note, it's the bezels. Mainly the bottom one.

They brought the bottom bezel size up significantly, making the typing experience amazing. I need that on this phone. But I also don't want the capacitive buttons. Luckily they dissapear when not lit up. And I found a flashable script to disable their functionality. I just need to find a ROM as stable as the GPE ROM and with on screen buttons and IR support like the GPE ROM.

My girlfriend had the exact same problem and he's right - there are some great ROMs on there that will have exactly what you're looking for. There are some that coincide with the haptic buttons and some that are stand alone and do not use them at all.

A couple of things:
1. Keep in mind, using Dynamic Notifications on an Android 4.2 rom will result in battery drain while the notification is active. An Android 4.3 rom would be better for that, since it has the new "NotificationListenerService" feature.
2. For disabling the capacitive buttons, it might be worthwhile to move to a rom that has full hardware key rebinding. I'm a big fan of SlimBean. There is a settings screen that lets you choose exactly what each of the buttons does, and you can just set it all of them to "none", and then disable button backlighting in Display settings.
SlimBean has it's own look and feel, because the DPI is very low and the Slim logo is inserted a few places. All of this can be changed, though, if you prefer a more stock experience.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions; I'll be happy to help.
