hello xda crew,
I am posting here because despite I joined xda almost 2 years ago, I didnt post too much hehe and i cannot post in devs forums yet (less than 10 posts users cannot)
Ive installed AOKP rom a while ago (v15.5) and I am very happy with it. I am using it as my regular phone.
Now Im just about to install the last version (v20.5). with less bugs, and more functinal things!
thx @zyr3x and Kang Team for this awesome rom, nice job!
if I attain 10 posts without spamin, I will inform you with the issues and all that.
just one question. is it recomendable to do wipe when updatin the rom¿ i mean, i was going to install aokp_v20.5 over aokp_v15.5 without wiping data and/or cache. do I need to do the wipe¿
i havent played with the AOKP rom yet but usually as with all roms, when flashing between versions of the same base, a quick cache+dalvik cache wipe is okay.
no need to full wipe/factory reset UNLESS the dev says otherwise
nexus one with ics rom aokp v20.5

ok thx. i updated without problems. (wipe cache+delvik cache)
I recommend you to try AOKP rom, the best ics rom for nexus one atm.
before upgrading to ICS i was using CM7 (nightly version) but now i dont regret the change. having ICS in the nexus one is great, and works fine, with only a couple of minor bugs.
You should try Lewa OS and you may change your mind
i am currently use the same AOKP rom latest version i love the way it runs to mate as for lewa os it is not secure when running it in my zte blade we had to modify the run since it sent details and information to the chinese developers be careful of that rom unless the porter for the nexus one version has removed the same functionality found in the zte blade one mate

Hi, can you answer me some cuestions? I hace tried to update my Nexus from GB to ICS or JB. Currently, I have Evervolv JB but got a bit lag. The AOKP Rom has some lag? can you tell me some bugs? Because with the rom I have right now Video Recorder is not working. That happen also in the AOKP Rom?
Thanks in advance

The ICS ROM uses different HBOOT size and JB as well so if you want to use JB you will have to flash HBOOT for JB. Video recording doesn't work in ICS and JB.

Yes, I flash the Hboot for JB that TexasIce gives in his post of Evervolv JB.
So video recording doesn't work in ICS too thanks for the answer
I see in your sign that your using AOKP in your Nexus One. Do you experience some lag? For example, I get lag in Evervolv JB when I use some apps like Whatsapp. Got some of those in AOKP?
I take some build.prop tweak on nightly JB and it works smoother now. Enabling vsync seems the key.

Yes there is some lag with the AOKP ROM that I am using but I can live with it. Planning to upgrade to JB soon because it's much smoother and faster too.
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 also want to try AOKP but there are too many different AOKP roms and I don't know which is the original one. I'm getting frustrated, I was gonna try a "new" one but I saw it has some buggs with games and with volume so I'm not moving untill I know there's a good and official one...

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.

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.
Hi
I rooted my N10 mainly for sixaxis. Now I want to flash a custom ROM for some change. I'm no developer or anything so which ROM you guys recommended for best user experience?
Cheers.

Official AOKP or CyanogenMod. Once you get a feel for either one then go for a custom version of said ROM. Both are pretty stable and bug free.

If going for CyanogenMod, I'd suggest also going for a "M" build (I think M2 is still the latest). I'd avoid nightly builds until your a bit more comfortable with different custom ROM's and stuff.
I'd start with CleanROM, which is basicially stock plus performance enhancements. Then, as you want to try more features, move on to AOKP.
I'd also recommend EOS ROM. Great ROM for features and stability.
One of the best things about android for most devices is the ability to flash custom roms and this device has a lot of options. Most popular roms will have most amount of posts. Make sure the Rom is for your device read the original post and follow install instructions and you should be ok... Be careful though... it can be addicting and will increase the amount of time reading posts on this site.
Personally I use task650's AOKP for the stability, battery life and customizable options

The replies you already received are all very good. I would like to add one more suggestion. Use your a recovery program either CWM or TWRP to perform a nandroid backup of you current working device is a MUST. If you run into problems you can also restore it and instantly return to a working state. That technic can also allow you to try/save/restore a number of ROMs.
When you find the one you want to use as your daily driver just delete the redeundant nandroid backups. A word of caution is that you should always leave one stable nandroid backup on your device "just-in-case" things go bad.
Be aware that if you switch recovery programs (e.g. CWM to TWRP) your backups under the previous recovery program may no longer work. So after you switch, make a new nandoid backup. I believe the recovery developers are working on resolving this limitation but I would take a new backup to be sure.
So I am going to pass this phone down to my kids. I have tried many different 4.x ROM over the past year or so but usually end up going back to CM 7 simply because it is the most stable. However, I am now seeing more new apps that do not support GB.
So, I want to put a 4.x ROM on the phone but want the one that is most stable on this device. What are your thoughts?
Have you tried the AOSPx ICS by SteppNasty (Stepp_aospX 1.0.0-MR2) ? I really haven't found any bugs with it. Seems pretty stable to me.

Sabsa Prime v15.0 | 4.0.4 has been the most stable rom for me.
Okay everyone.. Its February 2014 and we have been into kk Roms for about 3 months or so on the g2.. Which one seems most stable... And with which kernel is it stable.. I have flashed every single ROM known to the g2 and every single one freezes at one point and reboots.. To me the Mahdi ROM with paek seems the best but I want your input community... So let it rip!??

Freezes and reboots are long gone for me. Basically every room I tried if stable. They all lack gps and they all (obviously) try to force me into using Chrome but they're stable. If no rom is stable for you, either you're doing something wrong or your phone doesn't work.

AOSP has more eye candy, but you're right. The stock ROM w/ Xposed is hard to beat.
You meant the most stable CUSTOM firmware? Trying to promote this custom ROM is better or more stable than other custom ROM is prohibited in this XDA I believe.
As for most stable ROM, stay with the ROM built and released by LG.
I had the best luck with the unofficial CM build, but even that had random reboots from time to time and all the bluetooth issues.
