Carbon vs liquidsmooth - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Planning on flashing one of these ROMs (or another if you can suggest a better one) but not sure which to go for. Now I know there is no best ROM but if you can explain the differences then at east I can make an educated decision (as I know these 2 are branches from what were once 1 group of developers.) I tend to prioritise battery, customisation and smoothness and must also be stable for daily use.
Thanks in advance

You really couldn't separate them on performance, stability & battery. I think carbon has more frequently updated nightlies. Features? Both packed.

So I can't really loose then?

Just bought 2nd N7

after doing what I would now consider (dumb as ****) OTA updates....what would you all recommend i do as far as unlock...root...and rom? or if i stay stock no updates.......what would you do?
4.2 is as fast as any of the 4.1.2 custom roms / kernels that i have run in the past and i have tried most of them, i am currently running stock rom rooted with lean kernel which is a nice combination until some custom roms come out

It all depends on what you plan to do with it. Personally, I require root because of otg+host mode charging, among many other reasons. Each person is different in what they want and or require. You could use the first to experiment with different things and leave the new one stock till you find a configuration you like. Good luck!

Please ask questions in the questions section or general.

Would recommend just keeping stock until more 4.2 Roms become available, or flash the rooted 4.2 stock image that was released.
Paranoid android is releasing 4.2 tomorrow :thumbup:
What are those things on XDA no one listens to? Oh yea, rules. What the hell does this have to do with android development? If you have questions post in the Q&A.
Why is this in the development forum?

Where did you hear this, I looked through the last 5-6 pages of the paranoid android thread. I am very excited if it's true, but how because it is based on CyanogenMod and 10.1 is not released yet...

Try minco or rasbean. Doesn't get more stable / smooth than that.
Rasbean Jelly, sir.

Already try panandroid too... Need more customization! I'm all about the looks and make it personal! Lol!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
You asked most stable, not most customizable. Disregard minco & rasbean then. None or minimal customization there, just stable & fast.
I would recommend CFX then.

Compilation Roms

Hey folks, when I was on the T989 GSII there was a group of awesome developers called All Star Developers that did a couple compilation ROMS meaning (CM, PA, AOKP) I looked through the development threads and didn't see anything quite like it. At least not anything that specifically states it's a compilation ROM. Am I missing anything? Or do we just kinda lack that style of ROM on the Nexus 4? If indeed we do have, what would you consider to be the most stable one?

Ok. So they're not in original development... Who's the developer? Are those relatively stable here on the Nexus 4?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
With all due respect, you should go to the development section, find the ROM you're interested it, and start reading, rather than relying on someone explaining it all to you. All the info is there.

Yeah its stable like everything else on this phone and I have used PACman ROMs they are great and I think they are only in android development that's because the dev didn't create all three ROMs

Of course it won't be original. It's all based off other dev's work.

I guess that's true. I'm just looking for opinions (reviews) from people who may have used them and have some experience with the ones available. Just a general question for the "General" thread.

That's probably the best explanation of the difference between these two threads. Thanks I'll remember that from now on.

Comparing latest PA with 4.3 stock

Has any one compared latest PA 4.3 with OTA stock 4.3?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
There are a couple of bugs which are stated in the OP of PA and I'm getting a touch of stuttering here and there but the features of PA make up for that. If you're concerned about stability then just wait a week or so before flashing.
Sent from my Nexus 4
Well.
Im using PA since i bought N4. Was using stock for 1 month and since then, im on PA.
Ill give it a try i think.
Thanks for your reply.
If anyone else has some experience also, please respond here.
Thanks in advance

Compared about what?. Battery life, performance, tweaks, customizations...?.
Compared about those things youve just mentioned, and about stability in total..

Best ROM for the nexus 4?

I just bought nexus device. My old phone was s3 mini and since I used cyanogenmod whole time I'm asking which ROM based on stock Android is best for it.
Guessing that we have official releases of all Roms because this phone is just awesome it will be harder to choose

Actually Nexus 4 doesn't have more ROMs than Galaxy S3 for instance. Most developers moved to Nexus 5
Haven't tried all of them, but they are all mostly similar in terms of performance, it's the customization that is different in each ROM.
I'm on PA 4+ because it's the closest thing in terms of Stability to STOCK rom
There is no "best" ROM out there. All have there ups and downs. Threads like these are no allowed on XDA
