Hey everyone just throwing this out there. I am a regular on the galaxy note forum but just got a n7. What is the best and quickest rom and kernel combo. At the moment I am running a friends private liquid build and motley kernel. I need more speed out of it. Any suggestions?
from the padded cell tucked away in the dark
what exactly do you need "more speed" for?
Just want to get the best out of such a powerful device

The best ROM and kernel doesn't exist, it varies for different people.

I for a rom, I personally prefer Paranoid Android, you can get Tablet UI.

Stock does the best for me.
Running stock, deodexed, with root. And the tabletUI mod. perfect.
Every rom I've tried was not near as smooth in scrolling, or as quick to open items.
Thanx for the answer guys. I have been around long enough to know there is no such thing as the best and probably should have put in peoples opinion. My bad but all ideas are welcomed coz that's how we learn

I'm using the EOS CM10 build and Trinity Seven kernel. I've tried a ****load of different combos and that combo both feels best, benched best and appears the most stable (with pretty much the only bug being with google play music).

I found this and was curious if anyone has tried it with the N7 and gotten any noticeable gains in speed or battery life?
I have flashed it on my stock N7, I haven't seen any speed improvements, but the other features are nice

It's working good u need to try it
I stay away from `mods' like that.. If I have to set time aside to read the laundry list and not be distracted from the `marketing' associated with it then I don't want it on my device.
Just placebo and fluff. I'd stay away from it as well.
I have a new 32gb Nexus 7 to arrive at my house in an hour or two What ROM should I install? I am a set it and forget it user so I will be using this ROM for the foreseeable future. I mostly want to maximize the performance while keeping a stock feel.
Thanks in advance.
Stock.

Clean ROM. Works great. Fast. I think you will be happy.

There's no best ROM. Go find something that works for you and stop being lazy.

Solid aosp rom it's frequently updated and has great support if anything were to go wrong.
you really should try as many different roms as you can. there isnt a "best" rom. every user has different needs and every device will prefer some roms over other. so whats best for someone, might be worst for someone else. thats said, i prefer the rasbean jelly rom
I'm not much into over clocking or under volting and all that stuff, I just want a smooth kernel, without connection issues, and bug free as possible.
I only usually change I/O and governor's, which is already available on my current kernel and ROM so that's fine.
Any suggestions?
Oh, and works with AOKP

There is no "best kernel", its not a competition. Search in the Development Thread and try them out. Then choose what suits you best in terms of performance/battery.

OK, you obviously took my question out of context, let alone did you even read my question? I did search in the development thread, or else I wouldn't post this question. Out of other peoples user experience, I want to know what kernel was best for them, excluding the over clocking and undervolting features. And BTW, I'm not looking for battery specs as every user is different.
What kernel are you using at the moment? And why is it the best for you?

Oh sorry then I must've misunderstood it.
I am using Francos r51 kernel. Because.. eeerm .. the batterylife is just amazing without sacrificing performance.
These "Best kernel" threads usually get closed. Just giving you fair warning. I'm using Harsh kernel. It's great.
*obligatory there is no best kernel statement*
For 'normal' users I would recommend intersectRaven's kernel. Requires almost no user intervention - you can of course change governor and I/O scheduler - and is easily as fast as stock in performance but with much better batter.
All my opinion of course, yours may differ.
Currently I'm running AOKP with faux which is giving me the best battery life I've ever had. About 5-6 hours of screen on time!

4 different answers, 4 different kernels
All of them....
try the motley kernel. its rock solid with great performance and battery life without messing with any settings
Whatever works best for you and you can only tell by trying them all.

My vote is on faux.

If you're a normal user, then why do something abnormal by flashing a custom kernel? There's always a trade-off. You might gain a bit of battery life, but you're more than likely to gain a bit of quirkiness. Furthermore, some kernels like Faux's overwrite system files, whereas other kernels like Franco's use a different ramdisk. This may cause problems if you subsequently flash a kernel that replaces only the zImage (kernel) and which assumes that the ramdisk is stock.
there is no best kernel , all of those are good

I like this topic, I was actually looking for it.
I'm not an advanced user, I learnt pretty well how certain things about android work (i.e. I've used custom roms since I first started using a smartphone) but I know little to nothing about other stuff, like custom kernels.
Now... let's say that I'm not comfortable messing around too much with aspects of the kernel that I don't fully understand...
- Would you suggest a reasonably simple custom kernel that you believe is better then stock even if you don't mess around with it very much? (to me, and I believe according to iAndropple too, this is not a topic about "the best kernel")
- Would you suggest to stick with stock?
- Should I search for guides on YT or on the Internet so that I can have a better comprehension of how a kernel works, what is relatively safe to tweak and what is not?

I tend to agree with this statement, one has to try and learn, but maybe floepie is right, using a custom kernel is not the same as using a custom rom, and could be dangerous.
I know noobs like myself can be annoying, but I'm just seeking for advice and trying to learn new things here, any answer is welcome.
Thanks for the responses guys, and I'm just getting used to custom kernels, so I just want a low user based kernel, so I can learn my ways from there. I LEARNED how to flash ROMS and ADB stuff, but I didn't learn custom kernels "yet" to a full extent.
Hope you guys get what I'm saying

[KERNEL][UV][Linux 3.4.26] Harsh Kernel build Jan-22 - PGM
as describe by the dev himself " I am just sharing what I have made for myself as my daily driver." this is the best kernel imho. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048739, i have tried motley's, franco's but still the best kernel for me is Harsh's.
There is only a couple mods that I want in my Rom
-Performance/Battery Tweaks
-Linaro (possibly, not quite sure of it's advantages)
- Extended Power menu (preferably with an option to boot into recovery on the main power menu)
-720p Recording (I can apply this mod myself if needd)
-No sound modifications (for instance the clicking/tapping difference in Purity ROM)
- Battery Tweals/Conservation
I was looking at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2053133
Or pretty much just going back to stock, I am not familiar with Linaro at all, so any recommendations would be helpful. From what I have read, all it is is optimized libraries and code fixes, but since installing Purity ROM, my battery life seems horid. I am waiting for the battery life to die so I can recharge it to 100% before I make a judgement on that though.
Just flash and play. Only you can decide what is right for you. Please do not depend on us to choose.
