Since Nexus 4 runs on stock Android, what does Cyanogenmod offer as an extra?
Quiet hours and volume wake are simple features that I miss when on stock. There are many other changes.

I haven't tried it yet, but some report that Bluetooth MAP works with CM 10.1 and probably 10.2. That is something that cannot be achieved with an app, or that I've found, with a mod.

LED control & pulse battery light, custom toggles, expandable desktop with PIE, center clock, battery percentage icon, theme chooser, privacy guard, built in file manager, dsp manager, reboot menu, navigation ring slider shortcuts, lock ring slider shortcuts, custom lockscreen background, sliding across the status bar to adjust brightness, quick message pop up, volume wake, profiles, cm clock, tunable kernel etc etc
Sexy Nexy, AOKP
While people will tell you CM sucks in terms of features compared to what other ROMs offer, I think it has the most useful and best implemented features, even though it doesn't have every little tweak and customization that other ROMs do. There are hardly any reasons not to use cm; there are so many advantages. I couldn't get by on stock because of the lack of features.

how does CM compare to Paranoid Android? Are they both stock android with tons of customizable functions?

Yeah, pretty much. Those two, Carbon, AOKP, all AOSP ROMs with different customization options and features. I'm partial to AOKP myself.

A very simple answer would be: to be able to customize. There are a lot of ROMs out there, pick the one that satisfies you in any way of customization.

This is an addition to what people said why you should use cm of other roms can be somed up in one word. "stability" cm has a record for being a robust rom with alot of support. Most roms don't have that.

Does anyone know of a pretty much stock AOSP rom with Tablet UI? Optimizations are fine and welcome, just no (or very little) mods. So no AOKP or CM rom's please.

Well, Paranoid Android has a fair number of mods, including tablet UI. It's a great ROM with a lot of convenient and really nice features and especially so for the Nexus 7. Why don't you want many mods?

"just no (or very little) mods. So no AOKP or CM rom's please" PA fits into that mold as well, sorry.
Because I don't use the features on AOKP, which I've been running almost since it was first released. Other than tablet UI and 1% battery.
Well you could try my odexed or deodexed mods found here

And towards the bottom I have flashable versions of the stock 4.2.2 that is rooted if you don't have a stock android to restore. I have been running this almost exclusively for weeks now.

Hey guys, I am currently running PA but find things aren't as smooth as I would like. What is the difference between these three roms?
What are your personal preferences for each?
Oh, as well I am running the stock PA kernel for the display calibration. Does Franco kernel offer a similar calibration? I am afraid I will lose the calibration if I switch.
Thanks a ton guys!

I'll provide an answer for the Franco kernel question -> Yes and Gamma correction as well via the franco.Kernel updater application from the Play store. Also allows you to save the display color profiles as well which is always convenient.
I know you didn't say anything about this but have you taken a look at JellyBam ROM? It nicely incorporates all three ROMs into one (and among other things).

Paranoidandroid allows you to perform lots of customizations to your device like the hybrid mode it porvides in it's setting. The tablet or phablet mode. It was the pioneer that started the PIE interface. So simply said, it's made for customizations loaded with useful settings and tweaks. CM is based off stock rom.

CM is based on AOSP or Android Open Source Project. It's purely based on stock rom and that is the Team total focus point.
SITE TO CM
http://www.cyanogenmod.org/
INFO:

AOSP is the source that makes up Android OS. The OS you see on your Nexus device is AOSP. Pure android without Touchwiz, Sense and etc. It's basically Android without it's "clothes".

That's all I know. Lol. Perhaps someone else chime in more about it.
These answers are great guys thank you. I have to inquire further about the gamma correction though. If I'm clear, to get the awesome display settings that are baked into the PA kernel I will need to buy the application and fool with settings in it?
Or do the display settings come as a pre made option in the theme?

I assume you're talking about the franco.kernel updater app. Yes you can fool around with it. There are preloaded color profiles in the app that you can choose from. You can find out of that in "color control" from the app.

your kernel has a huge influence on how smooth a rom will run. if you like PA, try flashing a different kernel or a different version of the one you are using
Hey N4 users, how many of you are satisfied with stock 4.3?
I used to flash ROMs but I typically just stay on stock 4.3 now. I use a quick settings mod to add more tiles and an extended power menu mod to get reboot options. Other than that stock is all I need.

I use an app called fullscreen, and stock rom is fine after a few personalisation tweaks (playing with MUIU theme icons currently). Oh yeah..Pie Control App, Power Toggles, etc...apps really can extend usefulness like roms do, just have to hunt for them.
I need the long press navbar action, and better toggles.
Instead of flashing different mod a custom Rom is much easier.
Not for me. I like the extras, changes under the hood, ect the custom ROMs bring.

Generally speaking I would say yes, stock is great, but there are aspects to using something like Paranoid Android (lubz me some PIE) as well as CyanogenMod (volume rockers to change songs is something I simply cannot live without these days), so generally I will use a device for a period of time when it's new to my ownership stock, then do the research and find a custom ROM to try out, then another if needed, then tweaks (custom kernels, undervolting, etc).
Same old same old as everyone else for the most part I suppose.
i had mine for 9 months before i decided to try a custom ROM...
The nexus 4 is the only android phone I've owned and kept as stock which is kind of ironic.

On stock ROM now and while I do miss the volume rocker buttons and expanded lockscreen on custom roms, I am also happy without it.
I've been waiting for CM 10.2 Stable...so I guess that answers that.
Stock... No need for custom Roms anymore. Hell even the stock kernel is good now.

Thank you +ParanoidAndroid** for your hard work
(** Links to Google+ removed due to Restrictions)
I can tell you one of those things is being worked on
I'd love App privacy to also manage network access :fingers-crossed:

App privacy is currently available by exposing Google's App Opps implementation.
We'll see if they release it themselves for 4.4
I'd like improved quiet hours: the ability to silence phone calls, set different times for weekends/weekdays, quiet hrs qs toggle and for important contacts/ two calls in a set time period to ring the phone loudly. Also I'd like the ability to have 4 qs toggles in a row. Other then that thanks so much for this wonderful rom and keep up the amazing work
I think per app auto rotation control will be a good addition to the hybrid engine.

It is under consideration, Hybrid 3 has been written to be easily extend. I think its a great feature and would use myself, however an app can override the system settings and this covers most use cases: video, e readers etc
I have seen CM has fixed the problem where going into Recent Apps sometimes shows you a minimizing animation of previously opened app, although the app isn't in app switcher.
Even the stock Android has that problem. I'd like to have that fix in PA also.

Yes I agree. Does anyone know why PA uses these instead of the stock ones? Seems odd considering that PA strongly supports the android design guidelines and keeping things as close to stock as possible.

They were changed to work with PAC (per app color). The stock ones are opaque and the color feature looks nasty on them. The new ones are more transparent to work better with PAC. But yeah, I agree. They don't look the same. I'm sure with all the kk leaked images showing white icons, there gonna have a nice chance to remake them

My feature requests:
-Use Volume keys to move cursor r/l as in CM
-Battery charging light as in CM-
-In PA 3.99 or in PA 3+ generally, the QS Tiles are smaller or a part of the very top Quicksettings-Tiles-row is missing. That looks very strange! Please fix it so that it looks like in "original" Android so that you can see 4 rows of QS-Tiles when you switch to them, and not also the upper part of the Tiles in the fifth row!
Then I'd use this ROM as my daily ROM instead of CyanogenMod as HALO and the Hybrid Engine is so great!

Can some one create a flashable Mod for rooted stock rom, which allow to add and edit the quick setting panel as the CM has one?
This is the feature I most miss on my Nexus 5 by far with the stock rom, on my previous phones I had alwasy CM roms installt. Maybe I will also do with my current N5 when official nightlys are available.

Google really nailed it with the Nexus 5 and 4.4. This is the first phone I am not running to root, unlock, and start flashing away stock. With a few *minor* tweaks such as quick settings customization it would be near perfect.
I want to add screen orientation and flashlight to the quick settings. Google why cant you just be smart!

I definitively will give it a try, it looks really interesting.
Just wait for Xposed Framework, lets you modify stock without reflashing, etc. It doesn't work yet since 4.4 breaks everything in it, but the developer will probably have that all fixed up by the end of the month if I had to guess.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
I still don't get why Google didn't make this feature. The Quick Settings Panel hardly improved from Android 4.2. I would stay 100% stock ROM if Google added this feature, battery percentage (no not the crappy white one that's in there now) and long press volume rocker to skip tracks.
