Best rom for dd?

I currently am running liquidsmooth 3.2. I just found out that the thread for that ROM has been closed as per OP's request. I would like to switch to a different ROM but based on current choices, I don't know which one would be the best for a daily driver in terms of stability and performance. You advice would greatly appreciated.

Carbon rom is made by many off the devs from Liquid

Bionic Rom is pretty stable , basically stock with bionic patches for krait.

Paranoidandroid ROM is the way to go!

Xylon ROM is one of the most stable roms out there. I would say any of the big name roms in the Original development section are pretty stable. Codefire, Xenon, anything else that isn't in beta.

I love Rasbeanjelly and MMuzzy myself.

+1 for PARANOIDANDROID

Basically any rom is good enough for a daily driver on this phone, I know its a Douchy answer but with a nexus its basically your opinion its not like we are using Roms on the next update with major bugs to be worked on lol

If you want something close to stock with some nice additions that add to the ROM I highly recommend MMuzzy. It's stock with the addition of clear all button for recently opened apps, T9 dialer, customizable quick settings, enhanced power menu and the addition to determine between H and H+ speeds. Other than that it is stock. But a good start for a first time ROM.

Rasbeanjelly is cool for me. But many roms are good dd if you test drive and fine tune!

Is stock good enough for you?

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.

:good:
Flashed many roms ,tried about 6-7 roms and I realized that stock is good enough for me. I'm using battery % mod + advanced reboot ,it's enough.
I really enjoy with 4.3 stock rom.

Never was.

Honestly, not a fan of the Nav bars, so no Stock for me. I feel that they take up more space than they should. I ♥ extra screen space.

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.

Yes. I've run stock on my phones since the Galaxy Nexus was released. I don't have the desire to do the custom ROM song and dance when stock does everything I want it to do.

I'm very satisfied with stock! The only issue is I wish with the default launcher you could change the pages, that's my only complaint... I wish I didn't have to use apex on top of default...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

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.

I completely agree. My previous phone was a SGS2 and I flashed a new ROM the day I got mine. My N4 however I have decided to keep stock since 4.3 was released and so far I have been pleased.

Custom ROMs are significantly and noticeably faster and more responsive. Besides on stock lte is broken...

after i unwrapped it, my phone was stock long enough to download a custom rom. kinda like when you first installed windows and you use IE long enough to download chrome or firefox. same idea

I'm on stock right now

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.

cyanogenmod vs stock

Hello all,
Browsing the cyanogenmod website I am unable to find how this custom rom actually differs from stock. Could anyone tell me how it differs in tersm of features, performance etc.. ?

Unfortunately, the best way to go is to flash cm and then you'll see the difference(s)! Don't forget to do a nandroid backup first though.

There's no real reason to use CM on a Nexus phone, other than for since variety. Stock plus xposed lets you do everything a custom ROM does.
CM is really made for phones burdened with terrible manufacturers skins.

Don't listen to this post , if it was true then no dev would release a rom here. There are plenty of roms that offer a lot more then exposed + modules. Even stock roms offer ART runtime which isn't possible with exposed. Try a few and ask questions on the rom in question thread as most people hear are more then happy to help.

I don't have the exact numbers, but quite a few roms are based on CM. Take CM out of the mix, and there will be only be a few roms to choose from.

Cm offers better control of your phone compared with stock rom. Besides, pravicy guard and crypted message is cool.

I prefer AOSP, code is cleaner, sure devs would agree.

htc dream and htc magic, first devices with cm support had "nexus like" stock rom. So i guess that CM roms are still good for nexus devices

I reverted back to stock, the reasons for this are the battery drain with CM 11 M2 and the camera issue and the crashing, two of these I also experienced with CM 10.2. I am currently running franco kernel with the Dalvik/Bionic optimization and until now the battery life and performance have been like never before!

let me tell you someting buddy. the battery has several charging cycles ,wich means that over time it will not be as new.this is main reason for the bad battery life.

I don't have any of these issues on CM. The phone drains under 2% an hour while sleeping.

good for everyone that enjoys CM, I do not think I will be returning to it, going to stick with PA for the near future if any rom is going to be flashed. I tested the battery life compared to recent usage, not that this matters anymore.

ROM finding help.

Is there a kit kat rom with all of the stock g2 features? I.E. - Knock on, ringtone fade when picked up, flip to silence incoming call, flip to snooze alarm, smart video, etc. You may ask, why do you want a new rom? Well, I have had this phone since Christmas, loving it btw, but after almost 2 months of having it, the stock rom is getting stale, but I want all those features. I also don't like launchers, they all seem artificial to me, even the highly praised ones. If not a rom, than maybe a custom kernal would add some new features?
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app

No stock KitKat Rom yet. The reason is that the source code has yet to be released so the Devs don't have anything to build from.
I can recommend AeonFlex if you want a stock base ROM that is awesome. There are several Roms out there. Just give one a try. Or you could also go CM kitkat.

Thank you. I am downloading aeon rihht now, I will sideload it and see how I like it before flashing.

[Q] Xposed framework? [SOLVED]

Did a quick search but couldn't find a definite answer, so does anyone know if the Xposed framework is compatible with stock rooted G2? It's the Sprint ZVA variant, deodexed. I'd really like to customize this phone a lot more but to be honest I'm really not too impressed with many of the custom roms because I've found a nagging bug in just about every rom I've tried. Stock seems to work best and provide solid battery life, call quality, etc so I'd prefer to stick with that, and customize the hell out of it.
Edit: tested, works great on stock with G2 Xposed. I am even able to install CM themes on stock with HK Theme Manager.

Thanks. I'm using stock 4.2.2 rooted. I just thought I'd ask before experimenting. I'm a bit leery of accidentally sending a phone into a boot loop that has a sealed in battery. (Though I hear volume up+ power will reset it, which is handy)
