Are there any links to a pure stock ROM available for our GNex10? Id like the option to go back to the basics if need be.... never made a nandroid before I flashed AOKP.

This doesn't even matter, all the devs have the official ota update before it comes out due to Google dropping the source before they actually push it out.
Way better to root, you'll have the updates faster that way.

IF you do only one thing, unlock the bootloader before getting lived in on the device. I am rocking stock rooted myself. I am just watching till after cm10.1 hits stable then Ill try some roms out
While I personally prefer stock (with modifications of course) on my N7, it is trivial to revert these devices back to stock, or any other ROM, if you want to. You don't even need to revert and upgrade - you could just download the latest FULL image and flash your device that way, skipping the update step altogether.
But if updates are your only concern, I imagine most of the ROM developers would incorporate the new version into their ROMs very soon after the OTA drops.

This.
Even if you don't run a custom rom initially, if the bootloader is unlocked, you can easily flash a custom recovery and rom later. The problem is that if you unlock all the internal storage gets wiped which is not the end of the world if you backup first but it's still a minor inconvenience.

paranoid is great, but depends what you like. I love it fit the tablet interface and customization options. stock 4.2 had a lot of the same customization built in, so it's awesome as well.

To me, its custom ROM or bust.

Multi ROM
you may want to use Multi ROM.
Root your stock ROM.
Install Custom Recovery to install Multi ROM.
After installing Multi ROM, you may now install other or more ROMs inside.
Also, you have the option to auto-boot from stock ROM or from other ROM.
With that, you may access your stock ROM without removing your custom ROMs and vice versa.
Goodluck!
I unlocked and rooted my nexus 7 so that I could use otg cable---> a flash drive … I have extra storage now. Just download an app called stick mount an your all set...
Rooting should be the first thing you should do. As others said you can keep it stock if you want. Only difference is you get to install apps like titanium backup and file managers like root explorer. You also will have a custom recovery so you can backup your latest STABLE and smooth ROM so you can revert back if you ever run into trouble like the 4.2 OTA debacle.
As far as any maintenance and fixing issues... having root makes it a breeze as factory resets just mean in 10 minutes you are back in businesses, you just need redo your screens.
I took the plunge and after rooting I installed this: [EXPERIMENTAL] MultiROM v3
Now I'm running stock along with a few other ROMS, including Ubuntu.
Hey there, I have been flashing my HTC Desire HD for a long time with different ROMs. I found it kinda annoying to always check certain websites for new updates, manually download and flash them just to find out that half of the stuff was buggy.
Now I got the Nexus 4. I loved the idea of having fast OTA updates. But now I want to flash a new kernel.. which means I got to install a custom recovery. But then OTA will not work anymore.
So I wonder:
Should I stay with
CWM + Stock ROM + Custom Kernel (no OTA update but no problem with buggy custom ROMs)
CWM + Custom ROM + Custom Kernel
Everything stock
Cyanogenmod is nice but for me it doesn't have any big advantages over stock 4.2 ? So I really wonder what you guys would recommend? What are your reasons to do a "certain setup" ?
Thanks
You don't need a custom recovery to flash a kernel.
It can be flashed with fastboot leaving everything else stock.
You still wouldn't be able to install the OTA without flashing the stock kernel again though.
Oh crap.. so as soon as I change ANYTHING... no OTA updates anymore
Hmm... I guess I will stay with custom kernel + flashing stock ROM then :/ Is there any way to automatically check for updates tho?
Thanks

Yeah you will get the notification and it will try to install but it will fail and reboot if you aren't 100% stock.

Go with TWRP instead of cwm

+1, TWRP is great :highfive:
TWRP is the way to go!
But then I have another problem (well I already have it but..):
I would like to use ROMmanager.. after all it might be able to check for rom updates & flash them "automatically" (stock + custom?). I am not sure if it could also check for kernel updates?
Anyway, it seems to work only with CWM ? Altough it doesn't seem the already installed CWM on my Nexus 4 :S
Anyone?
I would never use ROM manager. Not a good program. Use a custom recovery, and if you want lots of customisation then I would recommend AOKP Rom as it is just as fast and stable as the stock ROM but with a whole host of customisation options.
Beauty of this phone is that you can go back to complete bone stock with no issues, I did, but missed all the customisation and put AOKP back on lol.
alright I uninstalled it. I just hoped for some "app" which could look for all kind of "custom" updates and install them automatically (kernerl,rom,...)
If you're interested in CM, I think delta CM will allow you download only the changes made to the project.
Also, why do people say to use TWRP instead of the more tried and true CWM? It seems to have a lot of sex appeal to some recently, and there doesn't seem to be a clear cut answer. Is there added functionality?
I kept flashing different roms, but it is time to return to our ol' trust worthy stock version of 4.2.
The question is, how do I do that? I'm not as new, but it's not really my profession either.
Any suggestions?

Or you can just flash Stock ROM with root.

Google has deleted the factory images from the developer site...
here is the FACTORY IMAGE LINK where someone downloaded it when it was already there
https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=no_antivirus&id=0B_zuNWpIf1ujNlFDVnZ3dzg2WEU
and here is the TUTORIAL to get back to factory settings...

you will have to wait till someone upload an odex stock rom.... others you see named stock rom are deodexed and are not factory images.

Cheers for the reply
Yeah i am completely at stock
Oh there are various methods to do that, by using titanium or by cwm recovery both require root.
Check out this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931337
But that thread is old now you can flash complete google apps package /gapps from cwm recovery.. (gapps package can be downloaded according to your os)
If u need any help ping me.

More important question:
Are you sure you want to remain on stock?
If you want to upgrade your system with Google Apps, why not do the whole remake from ground up. It will be the same difficulty level as flashing Google Apps.
I was on stock for a year or two and It's no problem once you ROOT and flash Google Apps (I did everything myself), or just use MoDaCo's prebake with everything included.
But this is very very old stuff.
I have currently installed VegaBean Beta 6 and it's miles ahead of stock (don't forget to read installation instructions and partition your SD card correctly).
The only problem I have with this ROM is that it's eating my battery, but stock was also eating it.
You can also try the newest CM10.1 based ROM.
And if that just doesn't work for you, you can always flash stock firmware back (but I highly doubt you will ever do that once you go the custom ROMs way... stock rom... ewww ).
I am currently running the AOSP 7.11 rom with teamwins recovery. Performance is dreadful. I would love to just go back to stock but everything I google / search / youtube comes back with dead links and / or outdated information. Even CyanogenMOD is dead.
If possible I would like to go back to the stock ICS for this tablet using teamwin's recovery, if not, I want to just flash back to unrooted stock.
