[Q] Rom differences - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Most roms seem very similar and their features are mostly shared throughout, are there any roms with exclusives?

Paranoid Android has released exclusive features before other roms. Full color customization, pie controls, to name a few. Other roms release nice features including theme engines, speed improvements, and unique customization.

I just find it weird that buttery smoothness is even a feature on a rom of 4.1+ nature. Plus PA's stuff is used by so any other rooms now

That's why you use the original work developed by the PA team.

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 Nexus 7 ROM With Tablet UI

What's the best ROM currently with tablet UI? I know it's a matter of opinion, but I still want to hear it.
Google Wallet should also work as well.

So far paranoid android is smooth for me...

I'm curious about this as well. Been looking at Paranoid Android mainly.
Paranoid is the best way to go.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I am very happy about Paranoid
Definitely paranoid because some apps look really wonky with tablet ui at 720px, but with PA you can customize the layout of each individual app which is awesome.

Paranoid is amazing though I wish i could use other ROMs with paranoid features
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Paranoid working fine for me. Like the per-app customization.
Stock works fine too.
IMUI has a really different and beautiful UI then all other ROM
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
MIUI is terrible for the Nexus 7. I love it on my S2 but too many phone features are still present in the Nexus 7 MIUI build. It feels half-done.
Paranoid Android is very slow but the UI customization is good.
I'm tempted to go back to stock though because it has been the smoothest and best battery performance rom for me.
PA 2.1 is good for me
Team Bamf
I'm using team bamf paradigm v2.2. Seems to work really well get really nice battery life out of it.
TeamEOS
The TeamEOS ROM works quite good for me.. I would recommend it to everyone! :laugh:

The AOKP nightly ROM is pretty awesome.
Just ordered my Nexus 7 today, this have been sort of helpful...lol.
EOS has a dead simple Tablet UI option. Just check and forget. It uses the same DPI as stock so you dont have any comparability issues like other methods. I haven't had a single problem running in tablet mode regarding apps and games. PA gets good rep too but EOS simply just works so good I can't come off of it.
Battery is also simply amazing. I unplug at 8 when I go to work and will still be at 100% when I get home if I dont use it. I unplugged the N7 like 20 minutes ago and on XDA and still at 100%. Absolutely no complaints.

Color Rom first look

Hi all,
I have gone through most of the features of the Color Rom in my latest video.
First impressions seem really good, obviously it's still in beta so some features are not fully available but yet it's still really good, fluid and smooth even using stock Launcher.
The standout feature is the new "Spaces" widget. Simply amazing
Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbdkTPATLfQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player
it's a bad rom
it's a bad rom according to scan the offical bbs...
It's beta. It's going to have flaws. It's incomplete. It's not a "bad rom"
Sent from my X909 using XDA Premium HD app
I haven't seen a ton of complaints of the forums yet. I'm planning on installing it for a few days before I flash paranoid android.
Is it really that bad?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
It's not bad. It's running good here.
If I use it heavy I get 4.2h of screen on time.
I don't see lots of bugs or not working things.
ROM is pretty stable and VERY useable for a dd. GPS is fixed.

Cyanogenmod 4.3

Hi all,
Forgive this thread and of course move/delete if needed, but I just wanted to voice my excitement for the day CM comes the the device. I will be receiving N9005 October 9th on Three coming from the Note 2 and simply cannot wait to not only start the customisation of Samsung TW but furthermore the moment beginning flashing the custom minimalistic roms that CM and AOSP bases will be offering us.
I'm curious to see how the performance and battery life etc will be, cliché questions I realise, and how such a lightweight system on such a powerful device will be a pleasure to operate. Also I wonder of the amount of available ram could ever be changed? So I see currently that there's around 2.3gb or so system reserved (don't quote me) available and so could more of this be released when on a CM rom?
Either way, just thought I'd create a place where we can all build up some discussion for when we first begin to get a glimpse of hopefully what's to come...
Hi there and good to hear you are exited about the Note 3, as for customisation i think AOSP roms will be the best way to customise, since one developer is allready trying to make the exposed framework to work its getting blocked by the Samsung KNOX security.
I'm getting the feeling stock rom customisation is getting tough because of this KNOX stuff.
As root will break KNOX. Exposed farmwork or asop deal will be the same

This is great news, this beginning is always so thrilling, in checking Xda so often to check the progress from watching root come out etc. I can't wait for likes of (here's hoping) Slim Bean to venture this way......

Why would anyone use Cyanogenmod on Nexus 4?

Since Nexus 4 runs on stock Android, what does Cyanogenmod offer as an extra?
Quiet hours and volume wake are simple features that I miss when on stock. There are many other changes.

I haven't tried it yet, but some report that Bluetooth MAP works with CM 10.1 and probably 10.2. That is something that cannot be achieved with an app, or that I've found, with a mod.

LED control & pulse battery light, custom toggles, expandable desktop with PIE, center clock, battery percentage icon, theme chooser, privacy guard, built in file manager, dsp manager, reboot menu, navigation ring slider shortcuts, lock ring slider shortcuts, custom lockscreen background, sliding across the status bar to adjust brightness, quick message pop up, volume wake, profiles, cm clock, tunable kernel etc etc
Sexy Nexy, AOKP
While people will tell you CM sucks in terms of features compared to what other ROMs offer, I think it has the most useful and best implemented features, even though it doesn't have every little tweak and customization that other ROMs do. There are hardly any reasons not to use cm; there are so many advantages. I couldn't get by on stock because of the lack of features.

Yeah, pretty much. Those two, Carbon, AOKP, all AOSP ROMs with different customization options and features. I'm partial to AOKP myself.

This should help, an infographic of features in the popular ROMs:

A very simple answer would be: to be able to customize. There are a lot of ROMs out there, pick the one that satisfies you in any way of customization.

This is an addition to what people said why you should use cm of other roms can be somed up in one word. "stability" cm has a record for being a robust rom with alot of support. Most roms don't have that.
