What do you mean by 'right'? It's just personal opinion which one is better.

Friend it solely depends upon you try the Chameleon Rom if you happy continue or revert back to PA. I haven't tried Chameleon would like to test it but for this I wont create a thread asking people "Should I try this rom ?? Should I change to this Rom ? etc"..
Try it and take your call. :good:

I tried chameleon ROM and did not like it. Its different, but I did not like it

Lol, where's the Rom?

Probably not anytime soon. Those roms are based on 4.1.2. Since then, PA has changed from a cm base to aosp. Additionally, PA is in beta, and experiences frequent updates.

My point is ..... No time soon. And I doubt if we will see any more PAC ROMs since PA changed to ASOP based. In fact, JellyBAM has already dropped PA from their newer builds.

But it's an excellent news to find hybrid rom =D

A question about ROMs and Kernels

Ok, so I've rooted and flashed rasbeanjelly from the nexus4root(dot)com website.
I've set everything up, down loaded apps I want etc, however I've heard that trinity kernel is very good with this ROM, if I'm wrong and there's a better kernel correct me. So how do I install the kernel? Same way I did the ROM? Is it compatible? Do I have to wipe everything? Is there a better kernel to use?
Thanks a lot for reading.

Just flash the .zip in recovery, no need to wipe anything. There's no 'best' kernel so your question about better kernels could easily get 20 different replies.
Ok thanks for your reply, what about compatibility? I've heard that if ROMs and kernels aren't compatible it can brick your phone

As long as the kernel and ROM you download are for the N4 it should be perfectly fine. In the future with new releases of Android there may be some issues, but devs usually make it pretty clear in the OP what you risk by flashing your phone.

rasbean and trinity are very compatible
as are all the other nexus 4 kernels.

[Q] Which ROM?

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 u want fast try sabermod

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.

Noob 4.3 ROM question

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!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
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,
-John
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.

Kernel question

Hello guys,
Iam new to the Nexus 4 forums. I have experience with other phones with flashing etc. I have a couple of questions:
I flash a kernel(zip) after I flash a ROM. That seems to me the right way. The flashing seems going right but after restarting the phone somewhat stutters, its no lag or something like that.
Iam running PA with now the regular kernel but when I flash Franco or Neo kernel it happens.
Anybody a idea what i am doing wrong?

For PA use jwr kernels. Not jss. Neo and Franco both have two versions. Jss and jwr.

There's also this zip which allows Jss kernels to be used in jwr roms.
