Just got my Nexus yesterday, came stock with 4.2.2 and with those little nipples on the back of the phone that came in the newest revisions. I immediately rooted, flashed the newest PA and Morfic's kernel, and I've been told that I sound like crap on the phone.
I came from the Galaxy S2 running JB, which had a call echo problem, does this phone, or some of these ROM's have this issue, or is it Kernel related?
I am on CM 10.1 M3 with Franco Kernel nightly 122 and my in-call sound is quite OK. No buzz or echo problem. Has Nexus few months already and first day procedure was the same as yours - root, custom recovery, CM + franco kernel.
My Nex is w/o nipples and rev. 11.
Thanks

I'm running Kaos 3.7.3 custom Rom on my Nexus 7 and a couple of times a day the sound just quits working. If I reboot it starts working again. Any recommendations before I try another rom or go back to stock? Thanks.
I have the same problem on Kaos too. Maybe it's a ROM issue then. I'll mention it on the Kaos thread. See you there.

Its definitely an issue with the ROM... flashed Kaos on for a couple of days and had that issue... tried running a few different roms and never experienced it again
after 4.2.1, i cant find a kernel that will work with stock rom that allows overclocking?
Motley
I really like Metallice's motley kernel, located in nexus 7 android developemnet.

trinity kernel works fine too
I'm loving the trinity kernel myself! It is blazing fast at 1.7Ghz. (gets a little warm but other than that it is just awesome) No issues so far using stock 4.2.1 ROM
Stock ROM, as in not rooted? If you are running a custom 'stock' ROM, as in you flashed it to your device than any number of good kernels will do what you want.
But at a minimum you need to be rooted and have a custom recovery installed.

I'm coming from using a Nexus S for two years where I did a lot of ROM and kernel flashing. So far, the N4 has been solid and I haven't found a reason to root it or flash a new ROM yet. For those who have rooted and flashed a custom rom, what are your thoughts? Any notable improvements over the stock rom/kernel?
I asked this question here as well.
Pro's of rooting; adaway, better toggles, aosp browser. (watch paranoid android for buttonless navigation)
Cons of rooting; less social life due to flashing things constantly.

I have had also used nexus s for 2 yrs,its a small phone compared to this I remember friends telling me nexus s is a big phone. I am also proud owner of nexus 4 for 2 weeks
My nexus 4 is rooted, before arrived I had all setup on my PC all the drivers, adb, clockwork, it was rooted before I opened the box
Its rooted mainly because of ads, i hate ads, and firewall, and titanium backup, few network tools...
I had flux kernel to try changing colors.
I have stock kernel and rom now and planing to flash AOKP JB4.2 v2 when it comes out.
I would root install a kernel of your choice to get better battery life. I'm on PA with Franco r31 and get over 4 hour of screen time. O. Stock , my screen time was under 3 hours

Go for it. If you like stock ROM then just flash kernel since franco and others have patch the wake lock bug that was killing battery life. I wouldn't go for a few custom ROM out there since it is unstable and could be unpleasant to use. Those ROMs are usually the ones with Linaro optimizations. If you want stock experience with customization, then try AOKP. I'm very impressed with AOKP so far.
Hi, i just recently rooted using win team recovery tool. I installed Purity rom and faux kernal on my android 4.3 nexus. This was my first rom ever and when i use my android now, every time i swipe from side to side, or open my app list, it gets all choppy. What i mean is, the app's straight lines become broken as if it was lagging.
Does anyone know the solution?
Yeah use stock kernel unless Faux has the GPU fixes in for 4.3 which it does not sound like
i had the same problem after trying faux kernel think the one you downloaded was for JSS15J and not JWR66V ....go back to stock kernel and all will be fine
So I rooted with wugfresh toolkit and then flashed the latest Franco kernel. I now have a tablet that takes 1-2 seconds to wake from sleep...
Any ideas or experience?

I've experienced this myself and read this is common with the latest Franco version r77. You can try a different kernel, or the last version of franco r76. I don't have the issue with m kernel or lean kernel.
Be warned if you flash r76 after r77, my tablet had to optimize apps (which took forever since I had ART enabled) and I also lost root and had to re-lash superSU.
