[Q] Help with ROM recommendation - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I'll make this quick and sweet.
I bought my nexus 4 about a month ago and i love it.
However i'd like to customize it, i've rooted it and everything.
I'm currently rocking a 4.3 custom rom.
I need help with recommendation with some ROM, i've tested a few but cant really find out what i like.
Could you guys recommend a ROM for me?
What i want is: Much customization as possible, Decent battery life, Much speed, PIE controls (or something similar to it) and maybe some other stuff what might be useful.
Thank you so much.

I would recommend you SlimBean Rom. Full of customization. PIE, Halo and what not.
I got a battery backup of 1d 10hrs with 4+ SOT , had posted this in Slim thread too. :good:
Just flash it and you will surely love it. :good:
Press thanks if I helped you.

On Beta 5 you can use Hells core kernel JWR version.. but just wait for a day or two beta 6 is coming soon. :good:
The stock kernel is also good, you can test on it and then make a call to take try other kernels.

Well I was on PAC but the last releases were very buggy so I decided to try paranoidandroid nightly and I must say I am very, happy with it! The Rom itself doesn't have all the customization the PAC or AOKP but it has more then Cm!
But the most important thing is that it is 100% stable! And has a very nice battery life! Never had one problem with it!
Oh and Pie and Halo are originally from paranoidandroid so they also work here the best!

Most daily and stable rom?

Hello guys,
i'm looking for the most stable and fastest rom with the best battery life.
I would like to hear your opinions.
im currently on cloduyg2 3.3 and its batter life is poor on my d802 and it stuck.
in addition, if you suggest using a rom can you plz shortly explain what should i do to install it from cloduyg2 3.3?
thank you very much.
sorry if there was a similiar post, i couldn't find it.
Battery life depends mostly on the kernel used
Give dorimanx kernel a try

Help in choosing a Rom

I have been with this device about 8/10 days now, tought i was not gonna feel the need to root, change rom or kernel... well i cannot do it, i feel the need, but i do not see any rom that can get my attention. All i wanted was a stable, battery friendly rom, it doesn't need to have xposed stuff, something like the stock rom, debloated with a custom kernel that would work in a way that i could undervolt overclock and all of that things. I do not mind not having N5 features even thou i like them... does anyone knows of a rom like this? Wich is the best kernel around?
I know i am allways asking things, but coming from another devices allways leaves me a bit lost as i do not know what's the best around. If you could take the time to answer i would be glad

I have tried about 10 ROMs and I really love the AICP ROM. It has about every feature anyone can possibly want and is very stable. I have been using it for about 5 months now with no issues. It has nightly OTAs and is the most feature rich ROM I have found. a couple posts down from the main posts has some tweaking suggestions for battery life and I have no complaints about battery life or anything else. Not stock like you were asking about but I would highly recommend this one.

Echoe rom. Hes not on XDA anymore because his work is always getting pinched so he has his own website.... My needs for roms is almost the exact same as yours.... Do this have a look at this pure note 4 rom.
http://www.echoerom.com/echoe-roms/n4-n910f/
make sure you download this version.....(28 October 2015) N4 Echoe Rom v15 [COJ3] and not the v 15.1 hybrid version for best stock. v15 is the best rom ever.
Reasons...
- Fastest
-Options to customize and change back to full stock feel
Overclock to 3.07ghz with most amount of tweaking (GPU OC also to 800mhz)
Very....Very... VERY Battery friendly.. ( Many user average 3 hours of webpages screen on time and only 10 percent battery usage...)
Erm....Bad time to ask.... What phone do you have.... n910f?

Yeah mate never dirty flash. Its unhealthy:laugh::laugh:...
Mae sure you update to the latest modem COJ3 which he also provides links for. Take a look at the pure note 4 forum thread and look at echoe roms link to download it.
Download v 15 and not 15.1 ... because 15.1 has note 5 theme which has small issues atm.:good::fingers-crossed:
stay with stock, just root it.. i tried almost all roms, and none was to keep.. i like it clean, and not thrown in a bunch of stuff, and the batery and performance is amazing, once you clean the bloat and do some tweaking in services.. if not then probably kyubi for the note5, which is almost the same as stock, but still there are some small stuff that irritated me

How did it go. do you like it? I am also looking for a good ROM to flash on my Note 4 but have no time to test all the available. ones.
Thank you. Could you please post which exact Stock steps did you follow ? Maybe links to where to go ? I have a T-mobile Note 4, and this thing is getting very slow. I would like to improve battery, speed, and camera.
Thanks again !!!

I actually didn't like it i am back to stock without root. The rom that i wanted to try is not acailable for the 910F (Sixperience) so i won't bother to be rooted again unless there is a rom that has what i need.

hands down the best rom out now is the note 5 port kyubi rom from, im on 3.1 and getting 5hrs onscreen time and no bugs completely smooth....

Worth unlocking?

Hello,
So I recently got an Nexus 6P and been wondering, should I unlock it? Would if be worth it for the kernel and etc.
(I've had past experience of course, just not sure if worth it on a Nexus device)
Thanks[emoji14]

Thats something you have to decide for yourself.
If you want to root, use other kernels or roms you must do it.
If you are fine with it how it works now dont do it.
But i asked me the same question and i didnt regret to do it.
Im on the Pure Nexus Rom and everything works as smooth as before + a little bit more features.

How is pure Nexus ? Because I'm thinking about it but a family member is saying no point because Stock android is the best and don't need to flash ROMs, etc.

Thats like religion; everybody has his own opinion. Pure Nexus Rom is very near to stock. You can modify a little bit like the statusbar etc. It also included SuperSu for Root Access.
(Maybe other Roms are very good too but i only tried this on 6p.)
You dont NEED to flash a rom, stock is fine too of course.
Nobody can tell you if you should do it or not, thats something you must decide for your own.

Aha, got it[emoji14]
Thanks for that! (Sorry for being newbie[emoji14])
If I do go to unlock bootloader, I'll try a custom kernel Stock firmware is nice for stability and performance at the moment.
Thanks for the help!

No problem,
but if you are really new in the root/flash/modify etc. scene, i can only give you the advise to read a lot about kernels.
Because flashing a Kernel modifies stability and performance more than the rom.
(Please all kernel-fans, dont hit me for my next sentence )
I dont use a costum kernel on the 6p because im not convinced that it will be so much better than the orginal, its smooth as **** and my battery life is absolutly great. So there is for ME no reason to flash a kernel.

I see you point and I've been in the flashing/rooting scene for a few years now.
Good point.
Wow, that's good if your battery life is great and performance is good, on par with mine.
I'm sure all kernel fans won't hit you

Hi,
It depends on user itself, what they are loooking for. For me I'm looking for good battery life and signal. This is how I scale their rank:
0-Bad
1-OK
3-Good
4-Amazing!
5-Stock Kitkat
Pardon me If I'm not nice. You have to tell me, If I'm not being one.

Yeah you are right. i'm looking for performance and with a not bad battery life.
i been used the stock kitkat for long. it's superb with chhapil's Mostock kernel.
i don't like kitkat ui. i like the material design that comes from lollipop. so, i'm looking for roms with API level higher than kitkat like lollipop, marshmallow and now it's nougat.
i'm very glad to see that our developers are still in the track of developing new things to our device Lenovo A6000.
Hats off you guys !! :good:

Bro try the MIUI ROM. I've been using the ROM for the last 4-5 months now. You can GET IT FROM HERE. You can also SEE IT IN ACTION HERE.
It has stability, without any bugs, great battery life, great performance and what not. Though, not everyone is a fan on such highly customized ROMs, but personally I like it very much. You have the options to easily apply the various themes while MIUI in itself has pretty good UI.
Yoi don't actually need to flash a custom kernel with MIUI ROM, but if you wan, you can try Phantom Kernel.

Will try bro :good:
But, MIUI rom is a heavily customised rom and i think it may consumes more ram leads to cause lag ?
i have seen the redmi device lagging, that's what i'm asking.
Phantom kernel :good: just awesome !!
now i'm using cm12.1 by ed300 with phantom kernel. sounds like pretty stable !!

Bro, Im having Redmi note 3 pro too. MIUI doesn't lag at all and has better battery life than compared to any other ROM despite the heavy customization.
On LA6k, I've tried many ROMs like CM13, Mokee, and other CM based roms, all of them had some kind of lag in the UI. Also, the battery life was not good, and were some bugs here and there. I've not tried the ED300's ver; but I don't think its much of an exception. So, you should definitely try MIUI at least once.

Thanks @sasukay for suggesting me the MIUI Rom. :good:
Amazing Rom
No bugs
Camera good
Sound good
Signal good
Performance good
Features - with a hell of tweaking and customization
Data good
I installed Facebook, messenger, Instagram and other kind of things. still works likes charm, no lags at all.
Stock kernel is good. even if you want to squeeze more, then try phantom R7. It working good with it.
I should recommend MIUI Rom to everyone cause it's superb. everyone should try it at least once.

Best Marshmallow (MM - 6.0.1) Rom with Xposed Support

Hey guys, i'm late in the sm-g935F community.
There is a ton of N-7.0 Roms out there but i need MM to use Xposed.
I love the old Cyanogenmod releases with all the nice build in features and a great battery efficiency.
Can you recommend something? If possible something that is still supported and good for a daily driver?
Would be really thankfull.
All the best!

I have found the @BoBCatRoM for me personally is the best all
around custom rom with lot's of excellent features and options.
Xposed works just fine with Marshmallow 6.01 version of it.
There are two versions of Bobcatrom, a Marshmallow 6.01
and a Nougat 7 version.
There are many themes to choose from for both flavors of the rom.
Bobcatrom also has excellent battery life.
Here is the link for BoBCatRoM:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/rom-bobcatrom-mm-6-0-1-t3404008
Give it a try!
Have a great day!
ok i tried it and the theme engine is horrible, its crashing, looks childish and im not happy with it.
Somebody else a suggestion?

I do understand what you mean by your words (as I have tried it as well) ...... but the way you stated it sounds unappreciative and deserving
I doubt you will get very many answers after that ---- maybe you should edit
