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.

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.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
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.
I have a 32gb WiFi nexus 7, I have been looking threw the different Roms. What's the best ROM for performance( gaming) and good features. What's a good kernel to use also?

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.

Is it possible that all these amazing devs, none of them can come up with some original idea? 5 years, same old cm features.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Hi,
Develops and compile your own rom with what you want in it... with your original idea... but where are they?
Criticism is good but it must be constructive, submit your ideas to the CM team or to any other devs..., I'm sure you have many original ideas with a thread like this one...
You like these kind of threads, right?

I would rather not "develop" anything than uploading some rom that simply changes the way the settings in the menu are sorted. I understand it hurts you, but that is the truth. CM has been the same for 5 years and consequently all the "original" roms based on it are exact same stuff. PA and moles and his team are the only ones that have come up with something interesting. The rest simply keep posting the same rom in different devices for 5 years now.

Woah dude seriously? All the hard work devs put in and you cant even be grateful for what you get. All these brilliant roms you get for free as well. It's not as easy as just thinking of an idea and putting it in, things are much more complex than that. By all means suggest things but don't criticise, that's uncool

Maybe you should check out the newest features of aospa. Their per app dpi and color with the new toggle is the best new feature I've seen.

I agree. In fact, I mentioned that moles is the only one bringing something innovative. I also know that the PA team got something cool and refreshing for us in the future. That is what users want to see I believe.

one problem is the versions of android. every time android is updated, the cm team starts off from scratch. many of the same old features from previous versions, has to be made compatible with the newer version. this takes time. the cm devs dont do this full time, they do it on their spare time. by the time everything is up and running, another version of android is up, and they start from scratch again. there are a few new features added here and there, but this all takes time. and i want to correct you, there are many features that were added since the original cm, its not the same for every android version. also, some features have disappeared because android doesnt allow them anymore.
Why not become one of these amazing developers and bring some of your original ideas. Vice creating a thread of this manner....Thread Closed & Thank You.

The best way to stop this thread getting messy is probably just a systematic review of both ROM's and make a few major sections (features, smoothness, etc) and then say which one has more or is better.
OFC that would require constant updating
Best thing is to try one, if you still want to try the other then most likely the current ROM isn't what your looking for.
Please just read each rom's respective thread. These threads typically turn into flame wars, etc

I've been wondering, what is the absolute most recommended KitKat compatible kernel for battery life, while staying mostly smooth? I personally don't mind a hiccup every now and then, but I just want the best battery life possible. I've been using Faux's 029 kernel and I was impressed, but I felt I shouldn't just settle there if there are better alternatives.
Cheers for any help possible, and my sincerest apology if this is a regularly asked question, but I haven't found an answer.

Okay, massive apology, I don't tend to read that sort of stuff.
I have to admit, I don't read sticky posts most of the time either.
Just try a few kernels and see what you like.

Newb or just a mistake? A lot of the "usage patterns" crap is actually just stuff they make up to avoid spam. Basic stuff like CPU usage and background stuff works on all usage patterns.

All newb! Just about any experienced xda member and smartphone user knows battery life is USER subjective and every device reacts differently to each kernel/rom . So I know you are like 15 but just try and remember important facts like these and that you just posted the number one no no thread hands down besides a eta thread.
PS.. the power of android and custom kernel/Roms is that YOU can flash different combos and then decide what works best for YOU.

Apologies, but assuming most people would want to use the device normally, with the screen on, things like CPU usage aren't entirely pattern based. True, wakelocks and background tasks raise the usage, but the rate at which the clock speed maxes and the rate at which it scales down doesn't usually work based on the way the device is used.

No they work depending on the kernel and how its designed to scale, once again this is kernel dependent, so posting this in the appropriate kernel thread you are using is much wiser.

I posted this in the general section because I thought this section would be more visited. Also, the whole point if the thread is that I'm looking for a good kernel, so of course that stuff is kernel based. I may only be in my teens, and yes I derp A LOT, but I usually know what stuff means.
Go to the Dev sections and find good kernels, its not difficult, read first, use second, post third....
