+1000 Very good ROM,you must try it

I don't know guys - they all look, feel and work the same to me - honestly I can't wait for some REAL custom roms not based on TouchWiz (which is super annoying) .. If you used MIUI you will know what I mean.
Do you think it will ever happen, or are we tied to S-Pen software embedded into stock rom?

Another vote for Rocket ROM. Keep in mind that there is a file to revert to the stock theme somewhere in the thread.

These threads aren't allowed but before it's closed... I use Cassies Rom

they are all good... Though we might differ on our experiences with the current available ROMs + considering the fact that though we have same Phone model and brand, but the fact is each of us has unique Galaxy Note on our hands (Example is some NOTE can tolerate extreme undervolting and some cant)... We have about 5 active ROM thread, you can visit each of the thread, read the users feedback and you can also post your queries there... or you can try each of the ROM, have each of them stay at least 3-5days on your phone, then you can decide whats best for you (like what i did)... GoodLuck...

Hi there,
I know this is an old thread, but since it was the first one I found when I was searching for good Roms, I figured I'd post my experience here. I've been using RocketRoms for a while now and find them clean and they work well. I've also been playing around with Franco's kernels, and so far I've never seen such great battery life as I have today with RocketRom v22 and Franco kernel 7. Once ICS roms become more stable I'll switch over, but I'm so pleased with performance now that I'm reluctant to switch over too early.

See my signature
Very smooth, no lag, great battery life.

stock LA1 + Franco/Abyssnote kernel here. Usability of Kernel depends on your note

As far as GB roms go I had great success with Darkyrom.
I've recently gone over to Midnote ICS - and so far it's the best of the current crop of ICS roms.
If you really need your phone to work every day without fault, go with darkyrom.
If you want the newest bells and whistles, go with midnote.

I've tried most of the GB ROMs, and personally, there is only this 'refined' one which i always go back to... DarkyROM
Run it with Franco kernel, you got a bloody satisfying setup

These sort of threads always take a wrong turn and turn into flame war. There is no best rom for one user. Read the information available and make your own decision.​

Best N7 ROMS?

Looking to get a N7 soon when the price drops start. Was wondering what do you guys think the best ROMs out so far are. Looking for silky smooth usage for the most part. Mainly will be used for web surfing, so whatever can make web pages load faster would be nice!
Will be using a different kernel that will allow better battery life as well.
So opinions on best ROMs? Would be nice if you've tried many recent ROM's to provide feedback on

If its mainly for surfing then stay on stock, install aosp browser as chrome is slow and switch to franco kernel.
A rom will not make amything faster only a kernel can. You can turn off animations to speed it up but even stock rom can do that.

I still want a different ROM. Such as Glazed Jelly bean, Paranoid or whatever they were. They were visually a lot more pleasing, and the ROMs themselves I believe were leaner as well?
Just wanted to see what everyone was using as their main ROM atm.

I really can't say there is a best ROM or even best kernel.. When I was new to Android a few years back I was a flashaholic.. OMG NEW ROM!!! AND IT HAS A COOL TITLE AND SLOGAN! MUST [email protected]!#@!! :laugh: Now a days... I pick a ROM, I pick a kernel that looks like it's frequently updated, well maintained and has an engaging developer and stick with it. There really is no best.. Just the one that suites your needs.. Speed.. Eh.. Unless you're a benchmark or FPS junkie almost any ROM on the N7 is going to fly.. This tablet is a beast..
Just read the threads in development.. Look to see what's up to 4.1.2 standards, see what is frequently updated, see what users feedback is, see how the dev responds to feedback, look at the features... Pick three and try them out.. I guarantee one will trap you and that's the one for you.. It'll just hit you.. A ROM that is the `best' for me may not necessarily be the best ROM for you.

This is great advice! I've lost count of how many ROMs have been on my n7 now. I settle on one for a week or so, then get itchy feet and try another ;p Grass is always greener and all that!

I recommend stock rom ，stablet

I am using paranoid android. The screen looks much bigger in tablet mode + the option of expanded desktop. Combined with franco kernel its a winner. I use my device for gaming and now franco has gpu freq change on the fly so it suits me well.

I'm running cyanogenmod with Franco kernel, after having a lot of trouble from another rom. My advice is to make sure a rom has been out a a day or so and read the thread to make sure there are no major problems.

Guys, isnt there a similar thread already - > Which ROM are you running?

Thread Closed​
There is no "best" ROM for a individual user. Different ROMs offer pro and cons, so it best for users to read the Development threads and make the own informed decision based on there needs. People often get a little over passionate about there preferred ROM, so these type of threads are best closed before the flames begin. The only exception to this is poll threads to determine the number of users using different ROMs.​

Best 4.2 ROM?

Looking for a new ROM to try. I know 4.2 is newer, what seems to be the most stable one so far? Any bugs I should know about? Looking for something real fast stable.

If you do a quick search, you will note that there are countless threads that ask this very same question and that they are invariably locked as soon as a mod catches wind of it, because there is only one single answer to your question that has any truth value...
There exists no such thing as the best rom. Go to the dev forums, do some reading, pick a few ROMs that pique your interest, and them take them for a test drive. Only you can answer the " best whatever" question for yourself.

The above is true. However, after trying several 4.2 ROMs, I suggest that you take a good look at Paranoid Android. I am using 2.99 beta 9 and it's stable and extremely configurable. I love it. To make it perfect you can consider flashing Franco's kernel as well.

Try smoothrom 4.2.1. Its great

Feeling a bit overwhelemed

Hi all,
I have had my one for a while now and have been lurking around the forums for the most part. I have done S-OFF, Rooting, Recovery and many other tweaks. Now that 4.2.2 is hitting the rom scene for us I am wanting to dive into a rom but I am feeling a bit overwhelmed at the options.
Obviously the ROMS fall into 2 categories of sense and vanilla and there is obvious advantages to both sides. I want to try a more factory build so I have been considering flashing the recent dump of the GE One but there are some things like Pie control and custom DPI settings that I very much want to use and would like it if they were baked in rather than needed me to side load.
I am hoping that you all can give me some advice on some good 4.2 Vanilla roms to try out. Maybe Kang, Paranoid, CM... and I know there is a lot of other well known ROM makers around here with ROMS I do not recognize the names of (Carbon, Viper, Revolt). So if you have any recommendations I would love to hear them.

I am on the verge of the GE rom but going to wait for stock 4.2.2 then decide after if that helps

Yeah I wouldnt mind waiting but I dont mind flashing back and have been looking forward to trying out stock or AOSP on the one for a while just not sure where the various AOSP roms stand right now as far as ease of use, bugs, and general smoothness.

Just try out a few and see which ones you like

This.
Once you've got the hang of flashing ROMs and using titanium backup to move your apps across them, you'll have no problem changing between ROMs regularly. Once you find something that works for you, stick with it for a while then see if anything else grabs your attention.

I am currently using ViperOne ROM, and love it. Its very smooth and offers a huge amount of customization options.
Aside from the above, I also can highly recommend Android Revolution HD, and TrickDroid. Both are very smooth, stable, and have large followings with great dev support right here on XDA. On a side note, Viper and TrickDroid do have close ties from a developer standpoint. Viper is the ROM intended to offer total customization, where as TrickDroid is a more stock ROM.
Either way, Ive tried a lot of ROMs on my One but the above three have really stood out to me.
Hope that helps you in some way. Were pretty lucky in that our device has a lot of excellent devs working with it. :victory:

[Q] Benefits of Cyanogen (or any other ROM)

I have noticed that my Nexus 7 seems to lag more and more lately and the battery doesn't seem to be as long lasting as I'd like/thought.
I was considering installing CyanogenMod on it but was wondering if there would be enough of an improvement to make it worthwhile or should I attempt to clean up the stock ROM to make it more efficient. What other benefits does CyanogenMod offer over stock?
I had also read here that Paranoid is a [seemingly] popular Nexus ROM. What benefits does Paranoid offer over Cyanogen? What about against stock?
Thank you.

In every rom thread there is a list with the features and even a changelog with all the changes from version to version. Read the first posts and you will see what benefits it has.
If it worths to install a custom rom depends on your needs and likings so you wont know until you try it.
