I'm running stock, but am rooted with Nova. I'm going to wait for some Milestones from AOKP. I've tried some Roms but none of them are as stable as stock at this point.

I'm a fan of the paranoid android ROM by Molesarecoming. He's building the thing blind and it's still phenomenal. App-by-app layout ui as well as most CM10 features.

I'm running EOS because they have a great standard dpi tablet mode.
Paranoid supposedly is great and Liquid is always a favorite...
Paranoid may work well for me but Liquid doesn't have tablet mode. EOS is just simple. It feels like stock with a few simple eye candy options for the navigation bar. It just works well.
Overall you should do a nandroid and just go crazy. Everyone has a different opinion and features they like that runs well with their unique setup.

My first vote goes to Kaos-Droid, just make sure to include the apex launcher on v 3.1 in Aroma, otherwise you have issues with superSU and have to manually input network id's, bit besides that, super smooth & stable,great ROM :thumbup::thumbup:
If you want something cm10 based, then my vote is glazed job by hyper runner.

Best rom for dd?

I currently am running liquidsmooth 3.2. I just found out that the thread for that ROM has been closed as per OP's request. I would like to switch to a different ROM but based on current choices, I don't know which one would be the best for a daily driver in terms of stability and performance. You advice would greatly appreciated.

Carbon rom is made by many off the devs from Liquid

Bionic Rom is pretty stable , basically stock with bionic patches for krait.

Paranoidandroid ROM is the way to go!

Xylon ROM is one of the most stable roms out there. I would say any of the big name roms in the Original development section are pretty stable. Codefire, Xenon, anything else that isn't in beta.

I love Rasbeanjelly and MMuzzy myself.

+1 for PARANOIDANDROID

Basically any rom is good enough for a daily driver on this phone, I know its a Douchy answer but with a nexus its basically your opinion its not like we are using Roms on the next update with major bugs to be worked on lol

If you want something close to stock with some nice additions that add to the ROM I highly recommend MMuzzy. It's stock with the addition of clear all button for recently opened apps, T9 dialer, customizable quick settings, enhanced power menu and the addition to determine between H and H+ speeds. Other than that it is stock. But a good start for a first time ROM.

Rasbeanjelly is cool for me. But many roms are good dd if you test drive and fine tune!

brought new nexus 4 and have issue

yesterday i brought new nexus 4 after trading my galaxy s3
i rooted my nexus installed recovery
flashed franko kernel
and installed paranoid rom
now the phone heats up too much even on normal whatsapp chatting
i tried to underclock it from setcpu but still heating is there
later i thought may b my phone doesnt handle paranoid or franco kernal
then i flashed modaco rom
but unfortunately swipe to wake doesnt work
i have still not tested the heating problem
can anyone guide me on setcpu setting or which rom / kernal to try
i am more interested in swipe to wake function

I have similar issues with a lot of Franco releases, some apps like fun run make the phone super hot. I use Motleys kernel, overall way snappier, and battery life is just as good. It's in android original development. As far as rom I use cm10 kang one by trailblazers that's built from linaro tool chain with bionic commits, it is faster than stock cm10 for sure. Try it, both kernel and ROM are built on linaro, good combo.

I know that it did, a lot of odd issues have been happening, so he took it out I'm pretty sure it is back in though. If not, I know matrix kernel has it.

Is there a color tuning kernel?

One of the things I liked about Franco kernel was that you had the color tuning option. I understand that Franco kernel isn't compatible with Xposed framework (or something along those lines it really isn't clear) but I'm stock 4.4 with lots of Xposed and would like to be able to fine tune color saturation and all that. Anyone know of a solid custom kernel that would allow me to do that and still be compatible with Xposed? I had to use the Franco kernel app before with his kernel.

if you install a kenel like hells core or ak you can download the app "trickster mod"
there hava a opcion that can change the calibrete of the screen like
-google (stock nexus 4)
-lg
-halfbreed
etc
works perfect and is the most simple and easy

Franco works fine with xposed.

Seems like I was reading through that thread and saw some issues with the Xposed mods. Maybe my bad. Another thing I struggled with is knowing which to download. I can't seem to decipher nightlies from stable releases.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Xposed doesn't work with the ART runtime, that might be what you read?
And don't stress over Franco - there is no stable release for the N4 since he's making little changes a couple times a week. Just flash the most recent nightly from the official thread. We're on version 199 right now.

And since we're on the conversation of the Franco kernel is there support for 4.4.1 or 4.4.2? I see this as the heading. I'm curious because I haven't upgraded past 4.4 yet and not really sure if I'm gonna fool with going back to stock and reflashing etc...

Unfortunately, the best way to go is to flash cm and then you'll see the difference(s)! Don't forget to do a nandroid backup first though.

There's no real reason to use CM on a Nexus phone, other than for since variety. Stock plus xposed lets you do everything a custom ROM does.
CM is really made for phones burdened with terrible manufacturers skins.

Don't listen to this post , if it was true then no dev would release a rom here. There are plenty of roms that offer a lot more then exposed + modules. Even stock roms offer ART runtime which isn't possible with exposed. Try a few and ask questions on the rom in question thread as most people hear are more then happy to help.

I don't have the exact numbers, but quite a few roms are based on CM. Take CM out of the mix, and there will be only be a few roms to choose from.

Cm offers better control of your phone compared with stock rom. Besides, pravicy guard and crypted message is cool.

I prefer AOSP, code is cleaner, sure devs would agree.

htc dream and htc magic, first devices with cm support had "nexus like" stock rom. So i guess that CM roms are still good for nexus devices

I reverted back to stock, the reasons for this are the battery drain with CM 11 M2 and the camera issue and the crashing, two of these I also experienced with CM 10.2. I am currently running franco kernel with the Dalvik/Bionic optimization and until now the battery life and performance have been like never before!

let me tell you someting buddy. the battery has several charging cycles ,wich means that over time it will not be as new.this is main reason for the bad battery life.

I don't have any of these issues on CM. The phone drains under 2% an hour while sleeping.

good for everyone that enjoys CM, I do not think I will be returning to it, going to stick with PA for the near future if any rom is going to be flashed. I tested the battery life compared to recent usage, not that this matters anymore.
