I'm looking for a ROM that is mostly stock + optimizations. I'm not interested in the other apps and tools that other ROM's install. Can anyone recommend one for me?
Thanks.
RasbeanJelly has all the criteria you're looking for.
This is like the third "best ROM" thread I see today. Do you people even bother reading before posting?

I can't speak for or against Rasbeanjelly but what I can say is that it's not definitely the best ROM since that's a completely subjective question (which is why the quoted post is worded as saying it fits criteria, not that it's the best).
@op Threads like this are pointless because you can receive multiple different replies and the only way to decide for yourself would be to try them all out anyway so the entire thread would be redundant. Not only this, but it's offensive to devs to say that someone else's ROM is better than theirs.
EDIT: Well it seems my point about different replies has been proven by the two above posts.
Rasbean both variations vanilla or normal, or SaberMod currently one of the fastest if not fastest roms around.
But just try them out and see what works best for you plenty of good roms about.

and I haven't been really following anything with the Nexus 7 so...posting this on Q&A.
What is your favorite rom (including plain ol' stock), why, and kernel?
can I use the Gapps I am got for the S3?
also, what other apps / tweaks do you guys recommend?
I never used an Android as a tablet so it's some what of an uncharted waters for me.

So why don't you do something about that ?
My best tip is to do some reading. These same questions are always going to get the same answers ...it's all up to the user and their needs.

This. I planned on getting the Nexus 7, so I decided to keep checking in at this forum to see recent developments and stuff. By the time I got the device, I was already aware of what defects to look for, what ROM's and kernels I would try first, etc...

Seriously, Custom roms are not worth of it.. or well not yet. I've tried over 6 differents rom and came back to Stock. Stock 4.1.1 has really great performance. The only useful thing I can think of is to flash a different kernel over the stock rom to overclock.

I disagree. Paranoid Android gives you control over your layout unlike stock.

I can read, but at the same time, I created this thread to get other peoples opinion in one place rather than going all over the place. and as for above, I was looking at PA too.
Can I use Gapps (7.27 i think) I am using for the S3 or does the Nexus 7 have it's own different Gapps?
Trying to pick a ROM. They all look good. Any that you recommend? Something without too many stability problems......
A ROM is your personal preference. Other peoples word should influence you. A ROM is like buying a house. It has to feel right for you. Go and test a few. You will find the ROM for you

Not sure what the rules here are, but on the Optimus 2x forum, where I come from, threads like this one are getting closed.
I think you should try some ROMs and stick with the one that works the best for you.
So, which one do you like?

Personally I'm using cm10 but that is totally irrelevant, go have a look at ROMs and see what works for you)

It's not irrelevant!
Which/best/most stable etc ROM threads get closed because it's completely subjective and what's best for one person isn't for others. My advice to everyone wondering is to just flash the ones that meet your needs or try them all, choice is a great thing and the devs provide plenty of it.
Thanks

Just got my Nexus 7, I'm familiar with all the kernels and Roms available. I've downloaded all from the original development thread as well as the newer android thread. For kernels I've used Motley, Franco and the kernel that comes from faux. I'm trying to find a balance between power efficient and no lagging at all. Roms I've used paranoid android, cm10, prime which is better and j18. I'm looking for the best gaming combo, while saving battery. Any suggestions?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I use my 7 primarily for games and for that reason I stick with stock kernel. Some EA games won't download data with custom kernels and I've found stock to be just as good on battery as any custom kernel and not far behind in performance. Your results may vary from anyone else's, so no one can really tell you what'll be best for you.

Use android 4.1.2. It is way smoother and less bloated than android 4.2.2

Best suggestion- try them and formulate your own opinion. These types of threads are frowned upon.

Thank you, your thread gave me an idea of what the community agrees with. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place couldn't quite decide. I'm close now! Thanks!!

May want to grab a cup of coffee to wake yourself up since my reply was in no way, shape, or form directed at you. It was directed at the OP, as this thread is just another violation of the forum rules that's going to get locked as soon as the mods get around to it.

I thought this was the questions thread for Nexus 7?! Is my question not valid enough for a community response?

Another thread closed.
The 'best' kernel/ROM is something you have to decide for yourself, there really is no right and wrong answer just which ever you feel works best for you.
This is why we strongly discourage this kind of thread.
We also do not like users that post multiple threads on the same topic, it clogs up the forums with pointless content.
Thank you
What is the best Rom for nexus 4? Except for the stock...

There is no best ROM. Each ROM tends to offer something different and what you may see as useful or cool may not be anything special to somebody else. With that said, I am on the newest version of the PACman ROM and I think its the best rom available bar none. There are so many options such as PIE controls (which allows you to hide the NAV buttons allowing for more screen space) and not to mention the options of Paranoid Android, AOKP and Cynagenmod. Throw in the rock solid stability, (no force closes, battery drain or lag) and you have a real winner.
Anyway, like I said, that is my opinion but having used many ROMs I can tell you that most of them are amazing in there own right. There is no "best".

theres no best rom, theres only the rom thats best for you. spend some time trying out a few different roms, then pick one that suits your needs the best. after that, spend some time trying different kernels, then pick the one that you like. anyways, heres a great place to start, especially for a thread like this one http://goo.gl/YG5Gl
Well, this thread managed to become hostile and off-topic in a matter of minutes. Can't say that I'm not impressed though. Anyway, while you've probably figured out as much there is no best ROM because it's completely subjective and in addition being a Nexus the ROMs all seem fairly similar to me (it's odd to have come from an HD2). It's also not fair to devs to judge their work when they do it completely for free and opinions can easily differ. What I can say is that you'll struggle to find any ROM that's bad.
OP as stated, there is no best, it is what is best for the individual User, with so many variables involved...apps/usage and so on, the best thing to do is test and run the great ROMs out here.
And BTW thread cleaned of stupidity; Thank you and Thread Closed.
Just a simple question which I would like everyone's opinion on.
Through your experience what has been the best ROM and kernel used on your nexus 4 that provided the best performance,battery life, fluidity, great customizations etc...?!?

these threads are nit allowed on xda. to find your best rom and kernel you have to try them out. our phones all react differently, and all our needs differ, so the only way to get your best rom and kernel you personally have to try them out. you device will let you know which rom/kernel it likes best, and only you have your needs/wants.
Oh really? I didnt know.Thanks for that
