ROM Choice? Xylon, Cyanogenmod, Paranoid?? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Trying to pick a ROM. They all look good. Any that you recommend? Something without too many stability problems......

A ROM is your personal preference. Other peoples word should influence you. A ROM is like buying a house. It has to feel right for you. Go and test a few. You will find the ROM for you

Not sure what the rules here are, but on the Optimus 2x forum, where I come from, threads like this one are getting closed.
I think you should try some ROMs and stick with the one that works the best for you.

So, which one do you like?

Personally I'm using cm10 but that is totally irrelevant, go have a look at ROMs and see what works for you)

It's not irrelevant!

Which/best/most stable etc ROM threads get closed because it's completely subjective and what's best for one person isn't for others. My advice to everyone wondering is to just flash the ones that meet your needs or try them all, choice is a great thing and the devs provide plenty of it.
Thanks

Looking for a good ROM

Hey guys, how are you?
I bought my SGS3 a few month ago. Since than I've been constantly looking for the best ROM.
I want a ROM with very good battery life, and I also want it to run smoothly.
Version 4.1.2 or above.
Also, if a kernel is necessary please tell me which kernel to use.
Thank you very much,
Orel/Xeiss.

What phone did you had before? I've currently a iPhone 4S and I'm looking to get a galaxy s3 because I'm sick of apple -.- was it easy getting used to? I also plan to install a custom rom as my old HTC was rooted

Unfortunately best ROM threads are banned on XDA and this will be locked shortly , the reason being a certain ROM might be good for you may not be good for someone else.
All as you will be told is to go and try many different one and see which Is best for you.
Good luck.

I've had a Mini Galaxy before (Not the one that was just released)
I personally prefer Android than iOS. It wasn't really hard to get used to, In 1-3 days you'll become a master
If someone would suggest me to get an iPhone 5 instead of my SGS3, he won't live anymore
Ho watch some YouTube videos and decide. Good luck!
BTW thabka for telling me Motogp1, I'll do it. Moderators, if you can please lock this thread without banning me if would be great, I'm new here and I really don't want to get a ban right off the bed Thanks.
Just another last question, what's the difference between the forums Android Development, and Original Android Development?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I would suggest starting with "Android Development" section for ROMs. Try them and find which suits you best.

Here you go!
Ultima rom v7.1 ( official 4.1.2)
Use it with persues kernel 29.1

You're welcome.

Best advice anyone can give a newbie is to read first, had the op done so he would have seen these threads are prohibited and also a waste of time.

You can try Ultima ROM. It looks and feels good.
You may try siyah, perseus,boeffla, galaxsih kernel and suit yourself.
Also look for wanam's deodexed stock roms.
Took me about a week to get used to from iPhone was rooted trying custom roms very easy but figured I didn't need all that so now just on stock 4.1.2 and loving it battery life is great.

Rom recommendation/best rom posts are against xda posting rules. You are encouraged to read the ops of the different roms available and flash and experiment. That is the only real way to find the rom best for you.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
"Stock Rom" is always the best and the most stable rom.

The right direction is the dev forum. Read the various threads, try a few that pique your interest, and then come to your own conclusion.
And if stability is the only thing you're after, stick to stock. It is the nature of the beast that nothing exceeds stock in terms of stability.

Closed. Try them and see what's best for you

What ROM and Kernel are you using? Gamers and daily task users! Tegra 3 Nexus's!!

Just got my Nexus 7, I'm familiar with all the kernels and Roms available. I've downloaded all from the original development thread as well as the newer android thread. For kernels I've used Motley, Franco and the kernel that comes from faux. I'm trying to find a balance between power efficient and no lagging at all. Roms I've used paranoid android, cm10, prime which is better and j18. I'm looking for the best gaming combo, while saving battery. Any suggestions?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I use my 7 primarily for games and for that reason I stick with stock kernel. Some EA games won't download data with custom kernels and I've found stock to be just as good on battery as any custom kernel and not far behind in performance. Your results may vary from anyone else's, so no one can really tell you what'll be best for you.

Use android 4.1.2. It is way smoother and less bloated than android 4.2.2

May want to grab a cup of coffee to wake yourself up since my reply was in no way, shape, or form directed at you. It was directed at the OP, as this thread is just another violation of the forum rules that's going to get locked as soon as the mods get around to it.

I thought this was the questions thread for Nexus 7?! Is my question not valid enough for a community response?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Another thread closed.
The 'best' kernel/ROM is something you have to decide for yourself, there really is no right and wrong answer just which ever you feel works best for you.
This is why we strongly discourage this kind of thread.
We also do not like users that post multiple threads on the same topic, it clogs up the forums with pointless content.
Thank you

Trinity vs Faux?

I am running trinity and am pretty smooth, but still I feel like sometimes it lags. I was wondering which one is better battery and performance wise. Personally I don't think trinity has that great of a battery life. Please just don't tell that you use one of these kernels, explain why you think its better over the other. Thank You
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
one kernel isnt better over the other, they are both good. the question is which is best for you. these kinds of threads arent allowed on xda as they are a good environment for flaming to pop up.
I was just asking the pros and cons of these two kernels

which is where the flaming will start. trinity(or faux) users will say that the one they use is better than the other, then itll go downhill from there. the pros and cons are for you to decide, based on how you use your device and how your device reacts to the kernel.

Best suitable ROM's and kernels for my nexus 4

Just a simple question which I would like everyone's opinion on.
Through your experience what has been the best ROM and kernel used on your nexus 4 that provided the best performance,battery life, fluidity, great customizations etc...?!?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
these threads are nit allowed on xda. to find your best rom and kernel you have to try them out. our phones all react differently, and all our needs differ, so the only way to get your best rom and kernel you personally have to try them out. you device will let you know which rom/kernel it likes best, and only you have your needs/wants.
Oh really? I didnt know.Thanks for that
