Hi, I'm fairly new to the whole rooting Android and custom roms but I've got the basics down. I'm just wanting to know some good custom roms that are pretty much stock roms but with extras in the menus and everything like CM7, also any good rooting apps, etc.

Lot of people from florida for some reason. I can suggest a CM7 or if you want, a sense 3.0 rom. You really just have to go through the roms yourself and find one that you like personally.
I'm currently using CM 7.1 but have tried OMGB, MiKG, Fresh, and most of them I've just reverted back to the stock because certain main features don't work well etc. I've also tried a few not listed on Rom Manager by Clockwork Mod but half of them don't install properly or just work great on the EVO.
A tidbit of advice: Get rid of rom manager, if you want I can link you to my thread where I have a script to flash Amon_ra for you and everything. Rom manager and CWM are terrible on the Evo. So if you want that let me know.
Anyway, there will be bugs and you might just like AOSP in which case, stick with CM7 (I use 7.0.3.1 just because of the battery drain issues I heard about from CM7.1
Alright, let me get that link and I'll check it out.
link is here
ROM Manager and CWM work just fine on my EVO. I've never had a problem with a ROM or backup or anything with either of them. I don't use ROM Manager to flash new ROMs, but I do use it to download MIUI updates. Don't necessarily take one person's opinion as a definite. Don't use ROM Manager to install ROMs though, that will most likely give you problems. Do it the old-fashioned way.

Doesnt MIUI support "native" OTA updates now? As in no ROM Manager needed?

Yes, but only after 1.8.19, which I just upgraded to...I was sticking with 1.8.5 for a while b/c it was very stable on my phone. But yes, you can upgrade now without using ROM Manager.
You can't go wrong with deck rom

Hi all!
I recently got Nexus 4 and I'm getting back to the android scene now since my old Mytouch 4G days. I was an iphone user. So, Ive read lot of forums and did search up typical questions I have.
Firstly, is there a relatively good custom rom for availaboe for nexus 4 besides the Stock 4.2 that im using currently. Any opinions? I prefer better battery life, touch screen response, and overall smoothness, but dont want to compromise performance though. Also, is CWM more reliable custom recovery than TWRP?
Thanks!
Well first of all to get those "Custom Rom's" you need to Root (Jailbreak) your device.
Cyanogenmod 10.1 is pretty good for starters Rom wise. And before you do anything DO YOUR HOMEWORK! ... go on Youtube watch and learn how people Root, Flash Customs ROMS & Kernels (Overclocking, better Battery Life etc etc) before blindly doing anything.
What you are asking here is purely opinion. I prefer TWRP and others prefer CWM. I like Twrp because I can easily flash multiple files instead of flashing them all separately. Custom Rom I use is CyanogenMod. But again, that's all opinion. See, we have an AOSP device, so most roms will be very stable. Custom Roms are based on AOSP instead of Touchwiz or other skinned Android version. This means less hacking is required to get things working in custom roms. When a Samsung or HTC phone gets CyanogenMod or another AOSP based Rom, there are several hacks to get things working and even then, not everything works. You will find all Roms to be stable. I choose CM because they have great features, but don't go overboard. AOKP IMO is too much and most of it is useless to me. But, some people like having all the options AOKP brings.
I suggest trying things out! That's the best part of Android. Make a backup of your current setup in recovery and flash away! It's easy to restore what you had. It's nearly impossible to brick a Nexus and I recommend giving each Rom you try more than just an hour or two and really try it out. You made a great choice by getting a Nexus as your first Android after being away for a while. Take advantage of it!

says the guy who bricked his n4 ...i kid :lol:
Try sr1 ROM,,that thing runs the smoothest out of all the ROMs out there. Which is crazy, as anything you'll try will be rather fast due to how responsive this device is. Pair that with Franco kernel and you'll have pretty great battery life as well.

Haha lol, Thank you my new friend for the advise ! I am currently reading a thread here on XDA on manually rooting and stuff. I am learning C programming so this should help me in learning =)! I prefer XDA thread guides over Youtube videos, which honestly have and are bad, in my opinion. I want to know exactly why this and what this even the minor details. Thanks for your input !

Wonderful reply, thank you. I did use TWRP on my brothers Gnex, it did a soft brick, and had to revert to CWM when flashing CM on his phone, i dont know why it did. I did full wipe, and other wiping in recovery :S. For a noob like myself, I'm just afraid of bricking despite all the reading I do and know it well, in real world things do go wrong. As for Roms, I do understand what AOSP and AOKP mean, but don't know whats the difference in actual roms.
I won't have a lot of time with flashing roms my university opens soon, so I can give it a shot. CM 10.1 nightlies is a good start? Or Xylon? From my research, I leaning towards them and the MinCo + Franco.
Thank you for the warm welcome , I feel really happy and glad to be back to android again . This time there is no going back, I love penta band 3G phones and they only exist in android and windows. But, prefer android due to so much you can do now!
One last thing though, about the kernel, should I start with Franco one, or stick with stock for now?

Aright , thank you friend ! I will start with sr1 Rom then and see how things go from there .

I highly recommend Paranoid Android, it's just super awesome!
hey guys!
i've decided to unlock my device to start with the modding...
i really like a lot of roms for our device but i cannot choose... i would know (maybe from who used these roms) what is the best rom on the customization aspect... i really really like aokp based roms because they have tons of options but i like also the paranoid android that is the only rom for now (for what i've read) that has the single layout app customization...
so i'm a little bit confused... can you help me please???
thanks!!
PS: what kernel do you recommend to use??

If you want AOKP based roms, try Dirty AOKP. But if you really want customization, I suggest ParanoidAndroid.
Here is what i recommend. Fast, stable, and highly customizable ROM. Stable and fast kernel.

Hi, pochefuok...
Check out Paul O'Briens CM10.1 based ROM over at MoDaCo (http://www.modaco.com/forum/657-google-asus-nexus-7-nexus7modacocom).
...based on the 'nightlies', he releases a new version every Friday.
I'm currently on r5... and it's slick, smooth and 'theme-able'... ie, just about every aspect can be customised. (Check out PlayStore for CM10.1 themes).
... and it's very stable.
Rgrds,
Ged.
i switched from PA to the PUB AOKP. PA just bogs down on multitasking after a while, Im not sure if it has something to do with their per app setting. PA is very unique though, their per app color is unmatched in my opinion, pie is also a nice touch but for me it is not very convenient. You should try out PA if only for the experience of it. AOKP has plenty of customization options and is quite good as well, I use it and I think it is faster and more stable
I don't mean to hijack, but I didn't want to make my own thread.
I'm looking for a ROM that has these features and is the most stable.
- removing the soft buttons so I can take advantage of the full screen when reading manga
- excellent video playback for anime
- overall very stable and has everything that jb 4.2.1 has
- same or better gameplay for 3d games then 4.2.1
I know a lot of these Roms have what I need, but I have a 200mb cap and can't risk wasting it. Also if anyone could point me to a beginners guide for flashing Roms it would be appreciated. Once again I'm sorry if this is a hijack and will delete upon OPs request.
Dirty Rootbox rom is best one out.

Wow! FLASHnox...
You aren't asking much are you!.
Flash a CM 10.1 based ROM and enable 'Expanded Desktop' in the POWERDOWN menu... upon selection, this will remove both the notification and navigation bars.
Get MX Player from PlayStore... this allows 'pinch-zoom' and will completely fill up the screen.
*** *** ***
Quick Beginners Guide to Flashing a ROM...
Get FASTBOOT via the Android SDK.
Get a Custom Recovery... either CWM or TWRP..
--- fastboot flash it...
Get the ROM of your choice.... and flash it using the Recovery you've just fastboot flashed.
Reboot... enjoy.

Thanks for the reply! Well anyway after my post I decided to just wing it and started with the android 4.0 tool to get started. Got my adb serial to appear after driver install, but could never get the fastboot to show up T_T. Spent a few hours rebooting and reinstalling drivers and could not for the life of me get fast boot mode to show my serial. Any idea what to do? And yes I did the whole hold power to get into the boot loader locked area thing. Sadly I have hit my data cap and will have to get the necessary files while at school to tomorrow. Hopefully someone can point into the right direction so I know what files to download in time.
Also I decided on dirty root box or whatever it was called, as for your comment on MX player I read somewhere that certain Roms have better play back but I'll just go ahead and guess it doesn't matter
hey guys,
i've read all your opinions so i downloaded 3 different roms, the dirty rootbox, the dirty aokp and the PA... so i try all of these 3 roms and then i will choose... i've only 1 other question: in the download page of the paranoidandroid there are several roms and i downloaded this: pa_grouper-2.99-31JAN2013-230539... is this the latest version?? thanks everyone!
Well i'd like to know which are the differences between those roms. I just would like to know if with any of these i'll get same or better battery life than with stock 4.2.2 (which is the one im right now) and if games will run same or better (i don't mind if i have to change kernel, but i'd prefer to not have to do many tweaks).
Also, what would I win coming from stock to any of these apart of the customization (apparel)? Thanks.
Opinions are welcome, I don't want to start a war between which is better, just to know which will fit my requirements. Also, please don't tell me there are 100 threads like this because the system of xda didn't show me any similar threads, and if there are, then sorry.
Not entirely sure on PA, but AOKP (the PUB builds anyway) have some cool optimizations. PA I believe has more customization available than AOKP, and has PIE (some navbar-less thing I believe). I haven't tried PA yet on the N10 so I have no idea really :/
Your welcome to flash one, try it out, and then flash the other though. Probably a better choice to see for yourself which is better.

Wait. is your bootloader is LOCKED or UNLOCKED? You need to be UNLOCKED to flash a ROM. I personally love Task650/Ktoonsez's version of AOKP. The custom kernel they use(Underwear) is pretty fast, but I have recently installed KTManta and it flies. PA is also fantastic, with features unique to PA like PIE and the whole dpi/color thing. I only stopped using it because PA 3.0 had random reboots. They apparently fixed the reboots in yesterday's PA 3.1, so I'm going to flash that tonight and try it. Flash whatever you want to try, just make sure to make backups of everything and you can zip back and forth between ROMs in minutes.

Hey Koopa and thanks. I succesfully unlocked and rooted with wugs toolkit so im just gonna flash PA. Thanks again for the advice! However I'd like if you can explain me that about the backups. If im on PA and I want to go to AOSP (from craig), do I have to restore my backup (I did a backup just after I unlocked and rooted) or I only have to wipe data/cache/dalvik and flash the other rom?

The TWRP backups are images of the tablet at the time of the backup, including data, ROM, and the kernel. You never have to flash the stock backup unless you want to go back to that state(Think of stock as just another ROM, which it is in the end). In your case, you would make a backup of PA, then, with the ROM zip on your tablet, you would factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik, format system(wipe ROM), then flash the ROM/gapps. You technically don't 'need' to do anything when restoring a backup, but I always do just to be safe. A note about the system wipe is that it wipes the ROM currently installed(be it stock, PA, AOKP, CM, etc.) and is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED when changing ROMS or Android base versions(4.2.1 to 4.2.2 for example). If not things can get wonky in regards to the kernel differences and such. I always clean the 4 before switching ROMS and I haven't had an issue. If you make backups on a per-ROM basis, you can wipe and restore the ROM with all your apps and such anytime you want.
I was in a hurry, so if any of that makes no sense content-wise/grammatically, let me know. There are also FAQs that are far better at explaining this than I am, I'll try to find some for you.

No worries, understood it. I see it's pretty different than with my Samsung Galaxy S, but that makes sense since the roms have different base and those have all the same. So if im not wrong, I make a backup of PA, then make all the wipes, and I can go AOSP. That easy?

That is correct.
Both AOKP & PA have a lot customization fun.
Individual features of AOKP
More customize on navigation bar, can even add screen off button.
Ability to add extra apps at Google Now pull up.
Ability to set how many column of Quick Settings.
Individual features of PA
Powerful Hybrid Properties where allow you set different apps different navigation + notification bar & icons color.
Ability to change DPI for every single apps.
Pie support, you can set certain apps full screen (no navigation bar) and the pie will pop-up when you slide from side (depends on where you set at either bottom, left, right or top).
AOKP & PA benefits over stock
Beside above list indivdual settings, both let you set preferable layout UI, either Phone, Phablet (stock look) or Tablet (previous Android tablet look).
Themes support, all CM 10.1 / AOKP themes is compatible with AOKP and PA.
Quick Settings customization, choose preferable toggle.
** Now I am fall in love with PA and use it for my tablet and phone.

Performance wise PA sucks. The input lag on it is completely unbearable to me and greatly hinders fast paced games. As for the features, PA is great. It probably has a couple more features than AOKP but I havent used AOKP in a month so it may have gotten more.

Not sure about the performance since I have it flashed since yesterday, but I saw a video comparison of PA and AOKP on youtube and it looked like AOKP was a lot faster (here is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNxdhF-nvec). Is the battery life way worse? And will it be updated to 4.2.2?
Thanks for the comments btw.
I'm also debating. Either Carbon or AOKP.
My main question is:
How is the battery compared to Stock after Flashing?
I'm running AOKP on my S3, I did however try Carbon....but prefer AOKP.
Thanks.
After few days running PA, I am back to AOKP even thought PA features much rich but... not the performance and stability.
PA still need more tunes on it performance and stability.

I was looking into AOKP ROMs the other day, and from my understanding there's an official AOKP (somewhere), and 2 AOKP's with PUB optimizations, one being official, and the other being unofficial and posted under general Android development on xda.
I'd recommend the AOKP with PUB. Stable I think is 4.2.1 still, but there are some "slightly" hidden 4.2.2 nightly builds available.

Allright, that stable 4.2.1, which I guess it's the official one, is not gonna be updated to 4.2.2 right? And those 4.2.2. might have some buggs so I'm not sure if wait or try the 4.2.1. I might try it, guess it will still be better than PA in therms of performance, but I love the customization of PA. Thanks.

Unofficial & Official AOKP was far stable than PA, I don't see any big bugs.
They is no bugs of games or sound, don't look too much on bigxie unofficial thread of AOKP 4.2.2, that one was including all user report bugs on Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 7, and Nexus 10.
I recon only use the 4.2.2 build of AOKP, don't use any 4.2.1 which had hanging/restart issue due to it 4.2.1 main issue.

I recon only use the 4.2.2 build of AOKP, don't use any 4.2.1 which had hanging/restart issue due to it 4.2.1 main issue.

if you so worry and not trust AOKP, don't use.
Which part I talk on that customize AOKP did by a person that not even have nexus 10. Really funny.
If not dare to dry, don't try.
Also when people talk on specific AOKP ROM, why you not listen, some more message me to others AOKP ROM not mention by me.
I am using and advise you on mrRobinson build, link had given before in official AOKP 4.2.1 thread. mrRobinson did not open a new thread for his modified version which was base on latest 4.2.2 build. He just post there.
can anyone confirm
updated to latest jelly bean, was wondering if rooting and install custom rom? if available will make a better experience?

Rooting not so much. All rooting does is allow you to access system files.. However, if you decide to install a custom rom or use the root to run apps such as LagFix or delete bloatware, you will definitely see an increase in performance. I was like you, wondering if rooting is worth it.. once I did it, I haven't looked back. It's so much faster!

That all depends on whether you want Asus apps and features, or the latest version of Android with a little more customization. Personally, the fastest stock rom I have used is CROMi-X, which can be found in the development forum. v5 was recently released, which is based on the latest source from Asus. Definitely good to try that rom out if you are a first timer, there is plenty of support and you will find the speed boost to be really nice.
Then there's Cyanogenmod 10.2, which is quite stable on the TF300 now and it is what I am personally using. It doesn't include any stock Asus apps at all, it is based off the official CM sources. To be honest, the performance with CM10.2 is really quite good and there may be some kernels coming that will allow us to even overclock :good:

I second that. I was too tired of the laggyness with the stock rom. So I flashed CM. Now I have no idea how did I stand stock rom for almost a year.

I'm currently on CM10.2 and there is like a new tablet for me. it runs really smooth.
I am currently on Paranoid 3-99 and I support the it feels like a new tablet argument in full mode.
So I highly recommend rooting it and going for a different custom ROM paranoid and cm are the best so i highly recommend using one of them good luck and enjoy the new experience
