No, it's not. All comes down to personal preference.
I like Foxhound as the best tw rom out there.
Anyways back to the question.
When flashing the rom you get aroma, if you install jkay stuff you wont get the 4 way options.
Flash it w/o jkay and that should work

Best Custom ROM to flash?

Hey guys,
Lately the Stock ROM is annoying me, I'm planning on flashing it to a custom ROM - I don't see gingerbread anywhere so I thought why not !
Also, my tab was rooted until something happened and I had to reset it to factory settings, most of the apps (that need root access) work, but titanium backup claims it fails to achieve root.
So Should I re root my tab before flashing a custom ROM?
and of course the question I asked in the title - what would you'll recommend for a custom rom on a GSM tab (I was thinkin overcome)
Cheers
Jackie
Go for overcome rom, works like a charm for me

I'd also reccomend Overcome. Best rom out there IMHO. Until we get data on honeycomb anyway
Sent from inside a whale.
I also recommend Overcome. It's been brilliant so far.

Sweet, thanks a lot guys.
But can anyome tell me a sure **** way of know if it still has root, because some apps like screen density and market enabler work but titanium backup says "could not gain root" :/

Probably because you mis-pressed the allow button in superuser when first launching titanium.
launch superuser and remove teh titanium entry and next time you load it will ask for su rights again.
Definetly overcome!

I second that. Alterbridge is a first class developer.
And I really miss Rotohammer too.
Thank you very much everyone, I'm thinking I'll get rid of unwanted stuff on my internal SD before I start it - as I found out that conversion to ext4 takes a while - so I'll save time that way also - hopefully if time permits, I'll be flashing my tab soon
Also does anyone know if i could some how get the gingerbread framework to work with the galaxy tab on overcome?

I think its better you hold out at the moment till someone ports it over to the WiFi version
Well its a good idea. Am empty SD card conversion takes 2 minutes. Full one can take upto 20 LOL. Not that I encourage everyone to wipe their cards. I flashed overcome when my tab was fairly new so I had no problems wiping it.
sweet, thanks for the info, also when the ext4 is being converted, is there a progress bar or status? I get paranoid at times when I don't see any progress

Please delete

This rom has been pulled till team cooper and if team cooper choose to continue it.

EDIT: This is DEFINITELY faster!
And no, just flash this. But make a Nandroid backup first, wipe all data, wipe cache partition, wipe Dalvik cache, flash this ROM, happy days =]

no, it should be fine from any rom. in terms of perfomance this rom is lightning fast. its barebones so its not got anything slowing it down. but thats at the expences of features, no youtube, spare parts and stuff like that. just really basic. music, gallery, mms, browser and things like that are included. all standard phone apps, but no extras. its a base to build on but works fine as a day to day rom.
just a question, is there google talk? Without it android market doesn't work isn't it?
umm .. wont not having tweaks slow the phone down ..?
It is safe to flash directly to this rom if my existing rom is Behrad's CM7?

Just got my Nexus 4, have a few questions.

If I was going to install a custom ROM or Kernel, can it update OTA?
For example, if I downloaded Cyanogen mod 10.1 and Francos r17 kernel, is there a button in the settings somewhere to download the latest update once it's released?
Any other things I should do when I first turn it on?
Only ever used an iPhone before this, so no idea what I should be doing
Can I sync with iTunes?
I know where the folder in which iTunes stores music files is, but it would nice if it would sync with iTunes.
Lastly, any fun/useful apps?
Free or otherwise
1. CM10.1... you can use the built in Update Checker
Franco Kernel: You can buy his updater app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5mcmFuY28ua2VybmVsIl0. he has a free one but not updated for N4
2. turn off automatic location reporting in google map settings

having a custom recovery will cause OTA failures. to flash a custom kernel, you need a custom recovery.

4.3 and high DPIs

Hi everyone.
Has anyone been able to get the Note 2 work fine with 270, 240 or even lower numbers of DPI on 4.3 fw?
4.1.2 was PERFECT. You just had to change the numbers on app settings and you were good to go.
4.3 broke everything.
Changing Android+SystemUI leaves a gap, the s-pen doesn't work right, the keyboard screws up BIG TIME.
I can't stand the HUGE, GINORMOUS statusbar (which is in the first place the reason why i want to change my phone's dpis).
I really don't understand why they made the statusbar and notification bar items so gigantic.
The Note 2 has a 5,5" screen and YET due to the size chosen for those items, you can see less concurrent notifications than a 4,3" phone.

That would be totally awesome, can you make the mod so that it works on odexed roms, so then later it would be possible to use your mod on stock roms, and they are coming very soon now, so you won't need to redo all over again.
Thank you in advance man.

Its because you are missing Note3 app package. You need to have Note3 app package installed before flashing this mod.

What is a Good Rom for this phone.

What is a good rom to run on this phone? I have tried a few and can't seem to find anything that works with out issue. I tried the latest SlimRom which I liked but It doesn't allow me root access. So apps like titanium backup don't work I've tried I think its OEO or something of that nature and it was ok and I don't care for CM11.
I am using the stock rom that came with the phone I think that is ICS

I have never found a more functional rom than mhous33 dst stock or the avistralia deodexed mod.
All the cm, pacman, aokp...... never work FOR ME in all the capacities of stock.
About TiBu, I have always found issues with it.
I use recovery advanced restore to move apps.
You can move your stock data to both the dst & avistralia roms.

They do have use to you because you would find the info you're looking for, if you take the time to read them.
I tried out SlimKat and it seemed ok but i really don't like how little they made the fonts and the screens in it. Some of us older people need bigger. I also had to flash the SU binary update as its not added to it. I tried out the beta 2 edition. After my data resets I plan on trying the DST one that was also suggested. Sometimes not having home internet sucks.
