If you are not the new to flashing then you are not new to xda and should know we aren't just going to hand things to you if you don't wanna do it yourself. Try them out and find out what you need.

Could just browse around the forums, people tend to advertise their kernels quite a bit in their sigs.

Sure you can. Just head into the Original Development section and take your pick. I personally use franco's kernel, but there's lots of other good ones to pick from.
Hi guys, i want change ROM on my N4 but I'm very undecided on which rom choose: CyanogenMOD, Paranoid or AOKP.
In your opinion what are the pros of the different rom to decide which one to use?
Read each ROMs respective thread and try them out for yourself, that's the only way you'll find the ROM that's right for you

Agreed, although I use the same setup as yours so I think that's saying something.

And the best kernel? It better custom ROM's kernel o franco kernel?
There's no best, every device handles them differently. The mods are gonna close this thread

If you want some of all then try the PACman ROM! It has features of CM, PA and AOSP

Please post question in the Q&A forum. Also, "best" ROM/kernel threads are not allowed. Read/search and take the incredibly simple route and try them for yourself.

I'm a noob to tables but have done many flashes to my phones. My main question is, I'm rooted and ready to flash a ROM to my Nexus 7 but I'm confused about a few things. I'm running firmware 4.3 so do I need to flash a ROM that's made for 4.3? I'm interested in the Carbon ROM but it doesn't state that it for 4.3.
I'm interested in a stable ROM that has a lot of customizing options. Any suggestions?
Thanx in advance for helping out a Noob!

ROM = Firmware
Flashing ROM = Flashing different Firmware
If you flash a 4.2.2 ROM over a 4.3 STOCK ROM, then you will have 4.2.2, and nothing about your device will be 4.3
just to verify, you have the old Nexus 7 right?
Yes, old Nexus 7. Thanx! Now I feel comfortable trying some Roms.

There could be partition issues when you have the wrong one.Like there was with the 4.2 update.If you flash a 4.2 rom onto a 4.1 bootloader your whole data will get moved into another /0 folder

The nested 0 folders was a recovery issue, not a bootloader one. Neither CWM nor TWRP could initially deal with the new multi-user directory structure. Koush and Team Win promptly updated their recoveries to resolve it.

I've been very happy with RasBeanJelly. It has a good cross between features, speed, and light-weight. It tends to be quite stable. I ran it for about 7 months, until I decided that l decided I needed more excitement in my life and jumped to a bleeding edge ROM. Depending on how the new ROM does/does-not develop, I may go back.
Before you go changing ROMs, make sure you are ready. Then make sure you are really ready. After a couple of times you may actually be ready. Look around, and you will find some guides. Here's a good place to start: Flashing Guide. The biggest issue I have had is making sure I have a good BACKUP and RESTORE strategy that works.
Good Luck,

Slimbean 4.3 beta 3 is pretty feature-rich and is a beta in name only...it's been rock solid for me. Get it at www.slimroms.net
Thanx for the ROM suggestions! I been running CyanogenMod Ver 10.2 Unofficial and I like it but now I'm ready to try some more Roms. I've got the hang of flashing stuff again so now I feel comfortable trying some new stuff.

Im using PSX rom. while it is a great rom 95% of the time, the other 5% of the time it freezes(well, maybe less, but every time it does it super annoying). The developer of the rom says that this is a common problem of the 4.3 builds. that sounds a little strange to me. While Im probably didnt understand him right, I still see that the latest version of PSX freezes sometimes. so after 4-5 month with that rom, I think it is time to move on. Could you please state which rom you are using, whether or not it freezes, what are its pros and cons, and your final recomandation?
Thanks!!
Cyanogenmod 10.2 nightly running smoothly here. No freezing at all

Stock ROM, Xposed module, Gravity Box. Let's you configure 95% of the stuff a custom ROM does.

I don't have any freezing issues. There are cases where I install incompatible kernel and it cause the phone to reboot, but is solved by using the stock kernel that come with that rom.
Get PA rom. You won't be disappointed.

Getting ready to finally flash a ROM on this device
But I have a few questions:
1: if I make a backup in twrp is anything not backed up that it's important like imei?
2: is anything still broken in cm11 or Bliss that matters? WiFi/mic issues are my concern
3: is battery life better than stock in these Roms?
I know these are noobish questions and I've been here for a while now. But I really don't want to buy a new phone because I lost my imei.

I suggest you [downgrade to JBBL] before you start flashing custom Roms. KKBL Roms still have various issues.
I just downgraded and started using [cj360's unofficial AOSPA] builds, and they are smooth... and totally worth the downgrade.
EDIT:
#1 Don't worry about it, you're fine. Flash away!
#3 Battery life has always been the same for me. YMMV
Thanks if battery life does not help I will then remain stock for now... Maybe wait and see if L comes to this device via dev

Typically custom ROMs will have slightly worse battery life than a well-debloated stock build. Maybe they have some closed source optimizations we don't know. You will eventually have to get used to custom ROM's battery life if you want to stay up to date in Android version.

[WARNING: XDA Premium 4.0.13 lacks Signature function - do not update]
I've been running ROMs on my other devices for quite some time. This phone is just one I don't want to mess up. As for the batt life my tab 2 does amazing on kitkat.... So was hoping the battery drain that kitkat stock causes was fixed in another rom. I know I could go back to jb stock but I really don't want to.
Like I said I'll just wait and see of someone brings L to this device.
