hi i am new to the nexus 4 forums i was on the desire forums previously so when i went on to the nexus 4 forums looking out to flash some roms on my new nexus 4 i saw "android original development" and "android development". what is the difference and which should i use?
Doesn't matter. Use whatever ROM you like, no matter which section.
Generally, Original Android Development is for "vanilla" ROMs like CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, AOKP, etc. whereas the normal Android Development sections is for ROMs based on these "vanilla" ROMs
Something like AOKP vs AOSP, you should just browse through both and see what you like, ignore the sub-forum heading

Hi guys, I have been looking in the Android development part of the forum for a week now and I need help in finding the ROM suitable for me. I have flashed about eight roms in the past week and i can't find the 'one'
I need your help
I'm looking for a ROM that looks like a nexus device (UI), I have tried the Google Edition but it was too laggy, but I want to be able to customise the device fully with pre-built settings like CyanogenMod or ProBAM. For example, I don't like the stock messaging app on the Google Edition ROMS, I actually prefer the TW layout, and so it would be nice to customise that. I also want a ROM that doesn't take up too much storage, so I am future proofed, and finally I want a ROM that has good battery life.
I like the look of CyanogenMod but there aren't any stable releases and there are only nighty builds, which I'm apprehensive about, because my phone is my daily driver. I'm also confused about people saying get CyanogenMod 10.2 instead of 10.1, but when I go to the Wiki page, there is no mention of 10.1 or 10.2...?
it would be great if someone could help me
Thread closed as its a "Best ROM" thread.
Why is development of custom roms based on android 4.3 so slow? We still don't have any stable custom rom save for the stock one. Is this going to be the case for 4.4 as well? I mean on my dinosaur HTC Sensation I've got CM 10.2 JB 4.3.1 which runs great and only can use stock on my N7. It just seems strange provided the device is not a legacy one and quite popular.
Why not pickup Development yourself and provide to the Community vice posting in this manner.....
Thread Closed.
I just got my Note 3 and I'm wondering what ROMs I should give a spin.
I tend to like MIUI roms as I had on my note 1, but also paranoid android is really fast and unbloated, I was also wondering what ROMs conserve multiwindow and s-pen features, maybe only samsung based ROMs have those. So yeah, what ROMs do you guys deem worthy?
Try them and see for your self.
I'm on Alliance 4.3, great battery, super smooth, I'm not going to update KitKat anytime soon.
Some are on 4.4 KitKat, they can maybe say a few words.
Why is ROM development so stumped? I thought I'd have TONS of ROMs to choose from like on my Note 1

Most important is that the roms and kernels that are out there are all very good You have sammy based roms, AOKP/AOSP and CM11, what more do you want? Plus you have Xposed framework to modify what you want.
I'm with CEPi - I run Alliance, Lean kernel and Philz Touch recovery. As stated it is a 4.3 based ROM so you'd need to see what your phone is as stock. If you're on 4.3, keep in mind if you go KK (4.4) you will be unable to come back. Also if your 4.3 is vMJ7 or above, you WILL blow the Knox counter by rooting, Custom ROM'ing or custom recovery.
If you're on KK already then you are restricted to the KK ROM's - like CEPi I can't comment on them as I see no reason to install a new ROM when Alliance is fast, stable & great battery.
Used X-note, now testing FlexKat.
The entire Dev section consists of roms of someone's choice. Ofcourse, some people prefer a certain rom, some don't. At the end, it is entirely up to you to decide what you like, and this can only be achieved by trying them yourself.
If you need a starting point, most rom's can be classified into two categories, aosp-based and touchwiz-based. You can try one or two on either side to see which category your preference falls in, and then try out some other options in that category.
On that note, thread closed as we do not allow such type of threads here, since they often snowball into heated arguments over personal preference.

That's sort of like asking what flavor of ice cream you should buy. There are several different ROMs out there with different features, different release cycles, etc. You might want to look in the "G2 Android Development" and "G2 Original Android Development" forums as well as the "G2 Android Development (XXX)" where XXX is your carrier forum. Check out the threads for some of the major ROMs: CyanogenMod (CM), BlissPop, Resurrection Remix, Euphoria, others... read those threads and decide what meets your needs and what you're comfortable with.
For what it's worth, personally I like Euphoria.
[Edit] Just found this over in the General area: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611749
by stock i mean something akin to what one might find on a google nexus device.

have you seen the one google edition v 1.2? in development section?
I've looked at it but it has 'Basic LG apps and features' so not exactly a pure android rom
there are plenty of AOSP roms here..
CyanogenMod for sure.
I haven't used Nexus devices, but by all accounts Cyanogenmod is pretty close to stock android. I have used Cyanogenmod on a tablet and CyanogenOS (the stock OS based on Cyanogenmod) on a Oneplus One phone, and both felt pretty tidy, fluid, and fast.
So anyways, if you want to have the same experience on G2 just install Cyanogenmod or Blisspop ROM. Based on my observations on the discussion boards here, CM 12.1 (based on Lollipop 5) is reliable and stable, while the CM13 (based on Android 6) is relatively beta-quality. So IMHO, if you want a very good "Nexus" experience, you can flash CM12.1 ROM and see how it goes.
yeah cm is pretty close, just was looking to see if there was something even closer to vanilla. cm has extra stuff built in, but not too bad i guess.
