Thanks for everything
A custom ROM is basically a modified version of the AOSP version. Custom ROMs are mostly built and developed by enthusiasts. They add new features e.g. customisation or functionality. They also provide bug fixes.
On non-Nexus devices they bring the newest Android version to devices that are not officially supported by the manufacturers. This doesn't play a role foot you, because Nexus devices get the updates immediately after their announcement.
You can install whatever custom ROM you want as long as it is made fit the Nexus 4. You may brick your phone otherwise.
Just look for a guide for rooting and install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM.

I've only flashed CM10 and paranoid android, CM10 is just so good i don't really see any reason to flash anything else. It's also pretty much stock as far as ui so not hard to get used to.

Any answers to this? I've asked the same thing in a few different places and haven't received a definitive answer. Thanks in advance

I tried the Paranoid Android 3.97 rom, and had lots of messy redraw issues, so I am going back to 3.96. Anyone else have this issue on an N4?

Looks like our devices are finally dead. Time to Upgrade
I'll wait for a (stable) KK ROM before agreeing ;+)

lol, well the Nexus S 4G Developing Forum is pretty much dead except for the avatar rom really. I saw a couple people trying to get a stable 4.3 working but that was weeks ago. as for 4.4 i read that someone said you can use the Crespo version but you have to change a couple things and even with those changes it barely works
Yeah, this is a sad thing... If I had more time I'd try to build something...

I'm using a non stable version of kitkat rite now and I love it. It feels as fast as it was when i first got it two years ago. And when art is finally standard, it will go even faster

I'm attempting to build CM11 for crespo4g right now.
We'll see how this goes.
I'm anticipating I'll run into at least as many issues as are plaguing the crespo. Plus WiMAX hasn't been working on any 4.3 builds, so I doubt we'll have it either. I'll post it here when I'm done, don't think I have enough cred on xda to post on the 4g dev section

CM 10.2 is very active. Getting Nightly updates, but it runs a little slow.
CM10.3, KK, should be better.

My build failed, trying to work from crespo cm11 sources and crespo4g cm10.2 solely for the radios. Anybody wanna try and help me figure this out? I've built for mako, but that's a whole different animal.

I forked CyanogenMod's CM10.2 crespo4g repo, and added a couple changes to update storage for KitKat, but most of the device specific stuff draws from the crespo tree, which is already at version 11.0 in CM's sources. I'm gonna try to start a build right now. I'll let you guys know how it goes. I'll also open a thread in the ns4g dev section as soon as I can.
If anyone wants to contribute code/tips/general know-how to this project it would be greatly appreciated. Also since I'm working from the 10.2 codebase, I expect the WiMax issue to carry over. That's something I'm willing to work on when I get it booting.
I also tried a dirty port from this discontinued crespo rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2526740. It just bootloops.
Here's my repo. Feel free to fork/make pull requests/etc...

can't help with building it but i can be the first to try it when you're done...
My thoughts would be to edit the bootclass path in the kernel from the nexus s ROM to work for the nexus s 4g, as well as whatever else code is important in the kernel, then get it booting since in order to dirty port a ns ROM to the ns4g all you have to do is swap kernels and then you'll have basic functionality, but that's my two cents, I could be missing something important idk

Just installed adityaxavier's unofficial CM11. Everything is working, including WiFi to 3G switchover (which wouldn't work in any CM10.2 build or Slimbean 4.3 build).
Wimax 4g is not yet working, but that is a minor issue for most.
I hope the Nexus S 4G development won't die out any time soon. This NS4G is my first smartphone, and I use it as a wifi only device. It was a friend's old phone, donated to me. I also have an original Motorola Droid (also from another friend's old phone stash), which I rooted and modded with custom ROMs and stuff. The Droid is now my little brother's first smartphone (also wifi-only). It's been a great learning experience, AND we get useful devices to use too! It's why I love it here at XDA so much.
NOT Dead! Because I found a few "newer", great ROMs to try out still. ROMs I tried and thoughts:
- adityxavier's unofficial CM 11, build 11 --> great, fast, smooth; but I get those errors prompts saying "process com.phone.android stopped working" after boot up. I tried a clean install, as well as a dirty install after factory reset. Still getting those errors.
- jc4gavejc's AOSP 4.4 for Nexus S 4G --> same as above, but also very simplistic, lean, and clean-looking, which I loved. I would've kept this ROM if not for the same error prompts "process com.phone.android stopped working"; or "process com.messaging.android stopped working". I'm beginning to think my phone can't handle 4.4 builds somehow.
- Slim Bean 4.3 --->fast, smooth, stable, minimalistic-looking, with none of the extra features that I'd likely not use anyways. I'm using it now as my stable ROM until I see a working android 4.4 that I can try out again.
- Helly Bean 4.3 -->Also a fast and stable ROM on my crespo4g device. Lots of extra features from Paranoid Android, which I don't really use. My stock battery charging animation disappears with this one. It seems to power on during charging, even after I turn it off.
- Official CM 10.2 --> easiest to install b/c of the cminstaller, but noticeably slower than the above custom ROMs.
Once I have enough posts, and clearance to do so, I'll post these comments, with more details, in their appropriate threads, to help give feedback on the ROMs I tried. Thanks to all the developers that spent time and efforts on these!
Hello, im having a question related to the HLTE SM-N9005 as far as i have heard from a friend there is a unofficial paranoid android build for this device and thats what i have been searching for during the last 4 hours, i he also told me that the pa settings were in some kind of beta stage and that only som of the features wern't working correctly. Have any one seen/heard that there is a pa build for hlte? I really miss the tablet ui would be perfect for this device.
if any one have seen the pa build please share a link in the comments below or tell me how to find it. with love from a huge pa fan.

Hey bro! I have the n900t but use hlte roms as well. I have not found a PA build. I think hlte was originally going to be a legacy device for pa, back in like march or April, but hlte was removed from that legacy list for an unknown reason.
You can, however, use carbon rom which is an aosp ROM with a lot of features. It has many of the pa features, like hover, peek, pie etc. I don't think I've seen a tablet ui setting for it, but I think you should be able to use xposed for that, do you know what that is?

hum, wierd that they removed hlte :s, Yes, I do know what exposed is, and I saw there was some kind of module that were supposed to force tablet ui but since google remover tablet ui from the framework I'm not able to get it, I'm only getting phablet ui which isn't even close to tablet ui hopefully some devs manage to merge the tablet part from earlier versions of android so that all users with at least larger screens could use it xD
Paranoid Android arrived!
Thanks to @encho we now can run Paranoid Android on our Note 3.
It is an alpha version, lacking most if not all PA features. But it is fast and it is Paranoid.

Hi all
I'm currently rooted, using slimkat 4.4.4 on my old trusty nexus 7 2012 wifi edition. I want to update to a new rom, but there are so many to choose from I'm a little confused with features - I wondered which is the bare minimal build like slimroms?
Thanks

I saw a suggestion to go for CM 12 from an expert on xda. If I find the link I'll put it here for you.

Hi Iamsra, yep works fine, although I don't use it much, the kit is probably so old it's almost stable lol
