Need to try out a new rom

Best ROM out right now???
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I've been loving AOKP, and the boot animation alone makes it worth it!

Wait for classic super magic it should be the best rom.

Not another one.....
Again, there is no "best rom". Everyone has their own opinion, and everyone has different wants/needs in a rom. Since you are rooted, just try out a few. That's the benefit of flashing roms, just make a backup, and if you dont like a new rom, flash another or reload your backup.

I can't get AOKP to run more than a minute (literally) without a random reboot and I have flashed my share of ROMs. Plus last I checked AOKP doesn't have everything working.
Your best bet for stable fully functional ROM is MikG3.0.

I'm liking AOKP but it still has some minor issues (being ICS, it's no surprise). I expect it to be my daily once everything is ironed out.
I'm using a tweaked CM7 for daily use, but I also really like the Mik roms.

I'm using the Ligux port from pspunderground. I'm not really into AOSP that much, but this is a great ROM. Very smooth.

No matter what I try cm7 nightly's always pulls me back. Especially since the officials started up again. I tried Nitrous 1.3.1 which was pretty solid. Radiance 6.1 runs great on my wife's phone.

On my evo i started compiling cm7.2 once a week or so then just wipe caches and flash the new one over the old i usually only compile when something new has been added that catches my eye or when several new things i dont really care about have been added the rest of the time im compiling cm9 for either the evo or my kindle fire and fixing to start compiling it for my et4g soon gotta figure out the ins and outs of this phone cuz its boot img is way different than my evo or fire

Nice post evil, care to share?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

The cm9 on the evo isnt as smooth as the aokp yet it works pretty well on my fire but then again it only has wifi no cam no phone etc so alot of stuff can be left out for it , the evo however my last compile had battery issues and random forcecloses that were annoying ad hell but ive been having to mod the current ics kernel to play nice im hoping to find a devkit for a device or devices from htc with similar specs i can steal some drivers from to get the hardware working better right now im running 7.2 and only testing 9 for a day or so to see where i have it but atleast it boots up and most things will function once or twice before force close city kicks in

I am tired of flashing back to stock to get prl updates. Any favorite Sense roms? I am running the october 2011 stable release of cm7 and have been since late october without any real issue however my prl is getting really stale so I need to do something in the next week or two.
Edit- I should mention that I am looking for a fully functional daily driver sense rom. I looked through this list http://evo4g.roms-db.com/ and was hoping to narrow it down to one or two that others have tried/liked.
I require 4g radio, gps, 3g data, wifi and wireless hotspot (like cm7)

The classic by tommytomatoe or mikg v3.0 or 3.1

After running CM7 (per my previous post), i tried about 5 or 6 roms and eventually settled on mikg 3.1. Thanks for your help. Updated my hboot, radios, and prl easily and things are working really smoothly now. Reception issues are completely solved and 4g is working tons better. Thanks!

You should try decks ginderbread I've been running it for a few days and I get about 9 hours of battery or so.... and its pretty fast

I've been usin cm7.2 as my daily, but I've been playing around with the ICS roms as well. So far AOKP has been my choice. Can't wait for CM9 though!

Even though its all about personal preferences, I was using Rainy Day, which was stable, smooth, and fast...battery life was ok. I'm currently running The Express latest build by OD and his team...awesome rom...very fast, great battery life even with heavy use!, stable, with a ton of space!

The express is a godly ROM, I switch roms a lot and and always find something, with express nothing is ever wrong, constantly updated with perks, and has themed and stock, the devs really know what thier doing, sense based but amazing, I love it so much, that's rare for me to say for a rom

I agree exspress is the way go for daily sense rom not any bugs but like what's been said its all personal preferences plus its almost in rc mode which is exciting

Best ROM in your opinion?

Yes, there is no best rom, but everybody can have an opinion, right?

Well, and what else

Running stock at the moment, had no problems' very snappy.

I like Paranoid Android but almost all are very similar and the devs have done a great job on all the ROMs.

Used codename android and then it became slightly buggy. Running XenonHD and it's smooth and stable. Loving it right now.
Will have to see when 4.2 ROMs get uploaded but so far Xenon finally removed the blue grids around home screens while moving. Left over from tablet UI and I just hate it and CNA still has it.. Don't want to use alternative launchers either.

I feel they are all about the same. PA really is in a league of it's own if you want to utilize their features.
I jump around every few months/weeks. Basically waiting for 4.2 to drop at this point.

AOKP when I feel like tweaks
For performance, eos or rasbean ever since I've learnt to tweaks and theme things myself, I have been not needing the tweaks of ROMs like AOKP
Resbean for now, zip aligned, odexed, tweaked up and super fast

I wanna try RasBean, any bugs so far?

You should change the question as "best rom/kernel combination" since rom's pretty much depend on the kernels to perform well.. Franco R25 is the best so far for my taste and Glazed rom is the pair..

4.2 AOSP out!

thats just great! cant wait to get the n10 and flash it with a good & nice aosp rom

Yep looking forward to this to. I have been running Siyah Kernel for a couple of weeks and it's great to be able to switch between the stable stock based rom and CM10

Yep same as on the Nexus 7 forums too, looking forward to having 4.2 AOSP on both my Galaxy S3 and Nexus 7:laugh:

Want omega's team to get cracking
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

Won't take long to CM10-4.2 get released. I guess 4.2 uses the same base and stuff, so won't be a problem. Still, I may stick with Samsung. I love CM10 but not CM10 for i9300. Colors doesn't look good, laggy and a lot of random bugs.

Looking forward to it. Unfortunately cm10 on i9300 is beyond the team's control . If Samsung took their thumbs outta their asses and start releasing the RIGHT source and docs for Xynos, we might actually get somewhere. Its a miracle we've come this far without it.

I see a lot of people comment that Touchwiz ROMs run more smoothly than CM based builds. This is exactly the opposite of my experience. I find the Cyanogen team's work to be second to none, which is remarkable considering they're volunteering their time.

It's freaking me out a bit that my Verizon Galaxy Nexus will get a 4.2 custom ROM before my Nexus 4. WTF?

With the CM vs TW ROM debate, is there one Vanilla ROM that you think proves that theory that they run smoother and faster because I'd love to test it if there is one. I've always also felt that TW runs smoother? Maybe I'm wrong. Is LiquidSmooth a good example?

I think that comment probably did that more than anyone else's. I think it's a perfectly valid part of the discussion. I'm not suggesting we sit here and go back and forth on ROM names. But I'll ask my question in a different way. What is it about the AOSP release that's out there now that isn't working well that will be improved by this 4.2 release? Ultimately, this isn't about one ROM base vs another it's about whether AOSP can be made to work bug-free with the I9300 hardware, isn't it?

I believe it's also to do with what new FEATURES have been added to the new AOSP release and less to do with how much stability it will add (since that is dependent more on Samsung releasing the source than what AOSP has to offer in terms of stability).
Some of us would like to make use of the new features of 4.2 and not have to wait for an official Samsung update.
Having said all this, at the end of the day, that's my point of view and I don't expect everyone to agree.

Stock rom VS custom rom?

guys which do you think is better stock rom or custom rom? I think custom roms like cyanogenmod performs better than stock and have much more features!

Stock=4.1 very good.4.2=Networks error,random reboots.

Csto custom RMS are everything great about stock, customized to your own needs and tastes

Frankly, its totally subjective. Some swear by stock, and some by custom roms. Then, others by only specific custom roms. The only real right answer is the one you decide for yourself after experimentation. So, start the journey, and enjoy. Youll know what you prefer in no time! Have fun!

I totally agree with this.
Personally I'm a fan of Cyanogenmod. Just straight Cyanogenmod for me but others swear by CM derivatives like Parandoid Android.
I say try some different roms out and see how they work for you. I did this and found myself going back to Cyanogenmod. Now I actually purchase android devices based on whether or not they can run it.
I like CM10.1 so much that I've learned to build it myself and make my own nightlies

Stock for me

Why do you prefer CM?

Stock 4.2 works perfectly fine for me, + franco kernel.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I'm rooted but otherwise run stock. I like it. The vanilla Android is why I flashed custom Roms on my old Droid Inc 2 (because I HATED the Sense UI). And I get that vanilla style with stock.

Should I put CyanogenMod on my Nexus 4?

Hi, I'm new to the rooting/android community and I'm wondering if it is worth it to try out CyanogenMod... What are the pros and con's?

More features. Possible* better battery.. There is so much and there's more than CM to try out
Sent from my Dirty-Trinity-Unicorn'd Nexus⁴

Yes.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Yeah, there are more features and probably better performance/battery. You could start out with the RC5 build since it is the most stable and updated build but generally the nightly builds are pretty stable with minor bugs too. Personally, I prefer AOSPA since it has very innovative features that make my phone that much more unique :]

If you don't like it you can flash another Rom or go back to stock. You'll probably end up trying different roms and finding out what you like.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

sure man. couldnt hurt to learn a bit about your phone in the process as well
just dont be stuck with cm. its not the only stable rom, and it is definitely not the most stable so dont worry about having to just play it safe with cm.

Try PACman Rom, has Cyanogenmod, AOKP and Paranoid Android, the top 3 roms in my opinion. this way you can see all the features and then flash the rom you like the most or stick to it...whatever floats your boat

Yes

if you are satisfied with stock then No , if you feel some features that you would use are missing then go for it.
as for battery life, from my own experience, stock was the best option for me so far.

Use Carbon instead. Has the features CM has but a lot more. Nav width/height adjustment is a must for me. CM doesnt have that and wont put it in.
