What ROM and kernel are you using? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i want to start this thread where we can share our set ups.
I'm using cleanrom v3.0 with franco kernel r31. Very good!

I am using CM10.1 nightly with Trinity Seven alpha 0.

This is pointless. If all you want to know is which ROMs are being used by more people just look in the Development forum and look at the post counts for various ROM threads. The ones with the high counts are being used by more people, the ones with the lowest are used by fewer people. This still tells you little about a particular ROMs suitability for a specific application or use. Only you can decide that.

Sorry, but there is no real need for this thread.. All you will find is everyone is different, and wants different things out of tablets; thus, there are tons of different roms in use. Look for the one that meets your requirements, and go from there.

SGS3 ROM Comparision spreadsheet

I am new to the SGS3, and I still trying to find the best ROM that suits me, and there are many many ROMs for the SGS3, so instead of getting lost with all those ROMs I started creating a spreadsheet that compares all the features of ROMs.
But before going ahead in my project, I wanted to know if anybody else did this before.
I know it is a hard job to maintain, but at least it can give us a quick look of main features, and mainly to quickly filter ROMs that support a specific feature.
Take a look on what I made till now, just 4 ROMs at the moment, but later more can be added.

Update: Feb 1, 2013
This thread has been abandoned, I started it because I wanted to compare all ROMs out there to find the best one that meets my needs, but I ended up doing my own ROM putting in what I need, so I will no longer continue updating the already old spreadsheet....
I will leave the file there if anybody wants to download it and make changes....
I think that He is trying to make a sheet for users to see wich Rom suits best each one. And not the best Rom for all.
I like the idea.

Sounds like a good idea to get an overview over the features of all the different ROM's.
But it's only useful if you continually update it. So many updates to ROM's every day and you need to keep up if the comparison chart is to be useful.
So a lot of work, so make sure you're up to it in the long run also

Personally i think its a waste of time as it will take too long to maintain and there is so little gain. Its pointless having so many common columns.
Why not just create a thread (if not done already) that lists roms that are JB, ICS etc so you can see which roms are out with them flavours and if they have been updated recently etc?
there's a page for that. i believe it's in the all in one sticky.
EDIT: it's in the roll up sticky all in one thread. a link in there goes to an "absolute" thread that breaks it down to which roms are what.

Nice thread, complete list of ROM's and even mods.... but doesn't say what each ROM have/uses.
What I have in mind is a search engine for ROM features, give me a ROM that is based on official samsung, and that supports OpenVPN and contains the 15 toggle mod and not contain the Ad filters by default. something like the Phone Finder on GSMArena
I see no threat just the statement that if it turns out to be a best rom thread in disguise it will be reported .
jje
I'm going to let this continue on for now, but if it does turn into any kind of war about the best rom, it will get shut down.
I don't see anything wrong for now about maybe having a "wiki for rom features", just make sure it doesn't turn into a best rom thread and it will be fine.

essentially, they're similar for the most part with unique tweaks to them. You should know what AOSP, AOKP, Stock (i.e. Touchwiz), Sense, and other stuff are. They are already defined in that thread. And the rest of this is up to you to test out and see what you like.
If you break it down into categories, there'll be so many columns and rows, then you would be having a spreadsheet each with one check for their own unique tweak.
in otherwords, it can get really big and messy.
edit: don't get me wrong. It seems like an interesting idea but you'll have to find a way to organize it so it doesn't become a mess. Good luck because it might be a little rough.
edit 2 for example: omega has 2 versions. one for ICS which should be "final" but it's there. and the JB version that is constantly updating. you'll need to account for that as well.
Oh thank you so much. Been waiting for a thread like this. I don't want to flash and flash each and every ROM to see what fits me. The spread sheet is awesome. Hope you'll update it every now and then.
You're missing the Rootbox ROM 4.1.2, I've been using it since I first got my s3, only problem I found is the nightlies agent so nightly lol

Update:
Filters doesn't work for anonymous users, but you can download it and enable them offline.
Update 2:
For experiments, I made a Google Form to let users fill the spreadsheet by themselves, in case somebody wants to add more roms, for extra questions, I can add them later. check it here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dGQtVkRlVVRnVklNbDNMV0xuX2dualE6MQ#gid=0
Maybe later I even can create a web site to collect the information, with the ability to give the rom creates the ability to maintain the list updated..

Add a column for ROM size, it gives some idea about the boatware included in the rom.

Ultimate Rom Requirement specification thread

Hello Guys,
This is my first post on XDA forum because I'm new here. I didn't post any threads till now because I didn't want to spam the forum with any unwanted thread or duplicate ones, but I have tried many Roms and I already knew some really cool and helpful guys like Jader, Mechmetal and Bestttt :fingers-crossed:
I used to work as a software engineer, but currently i'm working as a software quality control engineer.
and as I said earlier I have tried many Roms and I also have found lots of bugs and enhancements required.
I wanted to post comments but sadly I'm not allowed to because terms and conditions stated that I can't comment unless I post at least 10 threads :crying:
Anyway, I just wanted to suggest something,
I suggest organizing a thread for something like a requirement sheet for each Rom, speaking about myself I installed lots of roms but I removed it again because it has less customizations , or it doesn't have a built in application that I really want or it has another one I don't like (ex: toggles) while it had been a fast and stable one.
so why don't we find a way to collect the requirements of the users installing JB Roms, and ICS roms so the developers can put their effort in two really cool and helpful roms to have most of our needs:good:
It was just a suggestion
I'm have Xperia Arc [lt15i] with AOKP M1 - Fusion Kernel 3.9
Given how many ROMs there are, along with the fact that everyone's different this is a fruitless task, and why I learned to mod myself. You also can't expect Devs/Themers to cater for every last persons requirements.

Yes, Sure I get what you mean, it's so exhaustive
I meant something like Bug reporting technique, issues or enhancements with priorities and severity.
Anyways it was just a suggestion
Thanks anyway

Which are always good, but like I've said we're all different and what you may like in a ROM I might not so what you might call a "requirement" I might call a gimmick.
Also, you don't need to start 10 threads to post in Development, you just need to make 10, preferably helpful posts elsewhere.

I didn't start 10 threads to post in the Development section, I downloaded and tried most of the Roms in the development section,
The number of posts near my name are just replies
plus, my posts in the development sections are not requests , so I could still use it normally since I registered on XDA without the need to comment
Thanks anyway it was just an Idea that I thought about and I just wanted to share.
I have tested many JB Based Roms/ Kernels if you have created modded one where WiFi / WiFi Tethering is Stable and working I would be much obliged of having and Using it on my phone ... The best Rom / Kernel I have tried so far has been LuPus V4 Kernel with CAMPS Rom but unfortunately like all the rest WiFi Tethering has been insignificant and unusable Where as I have to constantly downgrade back to JellySandwich / Ark Knight Combo (ICS) Untill there's been a fix ... So There's are my 2 needs hope that helps with your conquest in making a Universal Rom

Which is the most stable ROM for nexus 4 ?

Just wanna known which is the most stable ROM for nexus 4? And please if anyone can share the pros and cons of all the different ROMS which will be a great insight for new rooted users.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Stay with stock. Stable, reliable, and bug free (well at least as bug free as Google managed to make it)...and will save us precious time describing Roms that you can try for yourself.
This thread should be in Q&A, not development.
try one if you like keep it if not try another
It's a fair question but there have been really similar posts and you should consult them. Check out the posts on individual roms to get a feel. Try them out yourself. Nobody can really objectively tell you how stable a rom is due to varying usages. Also roms are constantly updating and their stability can vary from release to release. Also this should be in the QA forum

Nexus 4 Kernel

Which kernel works best with Nexus 4?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Hi,
Another thread for that...
The kernel which works best is the one that you will test and the one that will suits better your needs, it depends of what you want, it depends of your settings, it depends about many things...
There is no "best kernel", test for a few days a kernel, read the OP / changelog of each kernel thread to have some infos and see...
With this kind of trhead you'll have x different replies with just a kernel name without any explanation, it makes non sense. And after that how you choose?. And search, there is already a bunch of threads like yours
These threads are very subjective as the answers reflects nothing...Almost the time nothing is known of the usage/settings / what do you attempt from the "best kernel in the world".
Can't you test by yourself?

They are all good, try the stock kernel for a while so that you have a baseline to compare. Then try a custom kernel and see how you like it.

Franco very Good battery life and good performance.
Trinity for awesome performance and OCing.

Subjective question.
Thats like me asking which backpack is the best for my laptop.
Look at the list of kernels and determine for yourself. Shop for one, they're all free. Go for the most popular ones and try the first 3 popular ones and determine which works better for you.
Just because someones phone works better with X kernel doesn't mean you'd get the same results. All phones aren't made equal.

What rom and kernel are you using and why.

Just seen a similar thread below so please disregard this thread.
Had a similar thread on the nexus 5 thread. The idea is not a slagging of match about which rom is best because all devs spend a lot of time putting roms together for free and sharing with us. So it's just to share what rom and kernel you are using and why you prefer it. This is because we have so many custom roms and kernels with different features. For instance I use rastapop because I used this on nexus 5 and it's been solid and fast. I also use franco kernel because have always used it from nexus 4 and it's stable and smooth for me. So your thoughts please.
