Threads such as this get locked as soon as the mods get wind of them because there is no such thing as a best rom or kernel. It's like asking someone "what kind of food should be my favorite." No one but yourself can answer that question for you.
Want to know which will be best for you? Head on over to the device forums, read up on some of the offerings, and then take those that pique your interest for a test drive.

Thanks to you All

I just wanted to leave you all with my personal thank you. I am not a complete expert on Android and our Nexus S, and on most of the other forums here on XDA I have found only people who leave... somewhat rude and un-courteous responses.
When I come here all I want is to be treated with respect, just because I know less then some devs doesn't mean that those devs should talk down to me
Yet here, on the Nexus S forums, I don't really have this issue.
Thank you all for being good someritans, and for making the Nexus S forums a place I really enjoy coming to.
And not to mention, all you devs doing amazing work for our phones.
Welcome man!!!
Greetzz, Jojoost

It is the best place to be for any phone thanks to you all again
We were all noobs once. You'll pick up on stuff pretty quick, just be sure to read as much as you can and make use of the search function, as most likely, your question has already been asked and answered. Good luck.

I received the Nexus 7 in the mail, rooted it and such. But, now when I go to the roms on this forum all I see are roms that look exactly like roms for my Galaxy Nexus including (Phone) icons? Can anyone explain this? I mean, why would anyone want a rom that's built for their phone to be ran on a Tablet? That isn't 3G and all that magical stuff. Is the Nexus 7 having an identity crisis?

From what I can understand from this thread, you believe the nexus 7 has the exact same roms as the gnex? Are you in the right forum? There is a clear difference between the n7 and gnex(screen size) so if they have similar roms does it truly matter?
Ok, Your response didn't Answer anything. You just asked another question. Thanks for the attempt

Okay no need to be a jackass here buddy And what do you mean by an "identity crisis"? The nexus 7 is obviously a different a device than the GNex, and the GNex ROMs obviously not the same as the Nexus 7 ROMs by ANY MEANS. Open your eyes sir and scroll down a little bit in both the original development and development sections.

Let's all relax now. The screenshots used in the op of most ROMs are standard to that ROM on all devices. Its just a generic screenshot. Every ROM I have used is hybrid (or otherwise configurable)

Hi,
I believe zZDave_Stud had replied in an appropriate manner. There is a clear differece between the ROMS of both. I suggest you to have an in-depth research on it :fingers-crossed: , or refer to a post: www(dot)forums(dot)androidcentral(dot)com/google-nexus-7-tablet-forum/186239-galaxy-nexus-owners.html - Not exactly what you are looking for

What's the best ROM?

I'm new to Nexus devices in general. I used HTC phones before but this is my first vanilla device. I need help with whatever be be the best ROM to use that I could use as a daily driver.

there is no such thing as a best rom. i suggest you try out a bunch, find one that suits your needs and that your device likes. what is the best rom threads arent allowed on xda, and this thread will probably get closed soon. there are many threads started with the same question every day, you should search for them.
What I probably should have said is what Roman would you prefer for someone that is new to Nexus devices.

again, try out a few. find one that fills your needs. personally, i prefer to not see whats the best rom threads. im not trying to be an a$$, its just that these threads arent allowed on xda, they cause people to argue about best roms, when best is subjective to the user.

Which ROM should I choose?

I've recently bought my Nexus 7 32GB Wifi, and I'm kinda flashaholic... And since I'm new to this device, I don't really know which ROMs are the best... As I've seen, most of the ROM OPs do not post ROM-bugs, which I find pretty frustrating, so I'll give you guys a list over things I'm looking for (I think you know more great ROMs than me, since I've just had my Nexus for 4 days!).
I like the stock ROM very much because of its stability, but I miss some customizations!
Okay, here's the list over what I'm looking for:
-A very stable and bugless (almost) ROM!
-A well-featured ROM with many customizations...
-A fast and powerfull ROM which don't shorten my tablets lifetime! (I'm thinking of no under/overvoltage, etc...
-And ofc... Android 4.2.1+
-The ability to place any widget on the lockscreen!
-Good battery-life!
Don't hate me if I want too much...
Thanks!

Which food should you like? What color should be your favorite? Like the subject matter of your post, no one can, or should, answer these questions but you. Test drive some and see what YOU like best... see what performs best on your unique hardware.
Oh, and IBTL.

I totally agree to the above opinion. To select your ROM, the following thread may help you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36018963
If this is your 1st time to flash a custom ROM, i recommend CyanogenMod or AOKP. If you're looking for ROMs for tablet UI, please try ParanoidAndroid or SGT7.
Anyway ,try many ROMs to find out your favorite. enjoy
Seriously? If you scroll down just a little, you will see 1000 people who asked the same question. Read those. People starting new threads to ask this exact question twice every day insane, and has to be bad for server space. The devs take alot of time to write out exactly what their rom offers, bugs, pros and cons so you can be educated. To not read them and take the lazy route and srart a new thread is disrespectful to their efforts. Sorry, but after seeing this same thing so many times, it gets rediculous.

I was actually asking for your opinion, not hate because I'm curious! And I've never seem to find a good ROM with looking in other threads made by people with other needs!
And, no! This is not the first time I've flashed a ROM!

The issue is that thread such this are tiredly pointless. No one but you can answer your question. The only rom that you should choose is the one that you try for yourself and; ends up being what you like. No one is clairvoyant enough to predict what will give you the feature set you'll be happiest with or how a given rom will perform on your unique hardware.
The mods invariably lock these threads a soon as they catch wind of them for this very reason. I imagine the only reason it survived as long as it has is only because it hasn't popped up on their radar yet.
Rather than wasting your time and energy asking what you should choose, go to the Dev forum, read up on some of the offerings available, and then test drive the ones that pique your interest until you find the one that satisfies you.
No hate- just sound, practical advice.

Closed, we don't allow best ROM threads. Try them and see

[Q] What is the best rom/kernel for the nexus 4.

I will be getting a nexus 4 soon and I need a little advice on what rom/kernel combination is best. Battery really isn't an issue, focused on speed mainly. I like to game on Mobile alot and that is the reason why I would like help finding the perfect rom/kernel for this device. Just hoping for something to overclock cpu/gpu for best performance possible. All help will be thanked.

I really am looking forward to the nexus 5 experience rom but I've already heard it isn't that fast. Unless I heard wrong. If this rom will give good performance I definitely will get it.

Welcome to the Nexus 4 forum
There is no such thing as "best", here are some threads that ask the same thing:
Best overclock kernel??
[Q]AOSP Roms ... What is the best?
Both of them are two days old.

Thanks,
These questions are always subjective and the only one that knows what is "best" is you. Try a handful out and make your own decision.
