[Q] Rom/Kernel combo - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm new to the this amazing device and was wondering, so I've been looking through all the roms and kernels, and I'm wondering what's your guys' favorite rom/kernel combo for performance and or battery life?

I'm using rasbeanjelly with matr1x kernel. I feel like I'm getting good battery and performance with this combo.

my favorite combo, rasbeanjelly and trinity kernel, AOSPA and franco kernel. both performance and battery are great. :good:

Since my gnex i prefer cyanogenmod + franco kernel. Nerver bootlooped my device and great battery life.

Slimbean and trinity. Trinity + misledz audio mod is unmatched.

My favorite combo is PA rom with either Franco.kernel or Trinity.

Solid and Fast Rom?

What is the ROM with the best balance of stability and speed. Want a fast ROM,but still needs to be my daily driver.

I've been hearing wonders of the bugless beast, I'll flash it and get back to you on that. Aside from that, I tried glazed jb,, that was quite smooth and stable, and most of the cm10 ROMs are almost, if not over capable of being a daily driver IMHO. If you truly want speed, look at the motely, faux, and trinity kernels, I've also been hearing great things, I can testify on the motely kernels speed.

How's motley with glazed ROM...I currently running glazed 1.1.2.

Back to you, the bugless beast is super stable.
And the motely kernel should work brilliantly with it, but be warned - the higher GPU over clock, the more battery drain
Edit: the glazed jb ROM already uses the motely kernel, but if you want more battery life, flashing the kernel without the GPU of would boost your battery life

Best kernel for stock rom?

I prefer balanced battery and peformance. Please advice. Thanks
All kernels work differently for different people. Try a bunch and see what works.
-Brought to you by Marino's Nexus 7-
Franco kernel lets you overclock the gpu to what ever you want (416-750 and anything in between) so with that in mind you can create your own balance of battery vs performnce.
You cant overclock cpu but honestly it isnt needed.
Also with his latest release r25 th whol devive is much more responsive. Touchscreen etc.

I'm on stock. I can't deal with sods. It's fast and battery life is good.

i'd say go franco or trinity.

Good ROM and/or kernel close to 4.2.1 jelly bean on N7

I currently am running android 4.1.2 and everything is factory stock on my 32 GB N7. I want to use 4.2.1 but do not want the battery died ain and charging issues. I wondering if there are any good ROMs and/or kernels to use that would be similar to the stock 4.2.1 but without the battery drain and charging issues. Any suggestions would be great.

I'm currently using Paranoid Android b9 with m-kernel a25. Right now I can get two full days out of it if I forget to plug it in at night. There are still a few bugs, but the customizability makes it worth it to me.
I was using SmoothROM before, which ran great. If you're looking for something closer to stock, you might take a look at that one.

Rasbean with trinity is a good near stock experience with minor useful mods. As for not wanting to use stock 4.2.1 due to battery issues, I wouldn't worry about it. I ran complete stock unrooted 4.2.1 since I got my 32GB 7 (mid November) until yesterday when I finally rooted and flashed rasbean, and had excellent battery life.
As for charging, people been complaining about it being slow since before 4.2. Mine doesn't take any longer than my g'nex even with 3 times the battery.

I'm using paranoid android 2.99 and franco kernel. Love the tab ui
rasbean with trinity. close to stock, but better :victory:
I'm on CM10.1 nightly and it has been smooth so far. It feels almost the same as stock, with some great perks.

Best rom for battery life ?

Which one is better ?

There is no real answer for this. Everybody has different results. For better battery focus more on the kernel. Try one for a few days, then another and compare performance. Keep going until you find what best fits your needs. Remember there is no overall best, but rather best for you.

Kernel, is more important for battery life, than just the ROM, plus your settings and apps make a huge difference too.

I've tried CM, Minco, Xylon, PA, the best I get is CM with franco kernel of course.

Which CM ? Official Nightly, or something like SlimBEAM ?

Official nightly usually is more cutting edge, but the M builds are more stable and would probably have better battery life.
Third Party Cyanogenmod, like SlimBean will most likely have lower battery life due to adding additional features, but like the other individuals said the kernel is more important than the ROM itself. A ROM can only be as efficient as the kernel itself.

`Best off`posts not allowed. I use Franco kernel myself and undervolted -100mV for cooler cpu and all is running great. Best thing to do is try out some kernels for yourself.

Try a few, see which is best for you. I use Faux123's kernel and his great set of apps that work with it.
Sent from an N4 blessed with AOKP and sanctified by Faux123!
Thank you all
I will try both Faux123 and franco and see which one works out better for me
Best kernel / kernel recommendations are strictly prohibited, do your own research.
