The new team BAMF wrong is sooooo buttery! Running very smooth and stable for me

Ive been using Paul Obriens Jr# ROMs. theyre just tweaked stock ROMs, but I have never had a single issue so far and with every release there are new features without any new bugs. which is always nice.

How much smoother can it be than stock jb? Seems like people are getting placebo effects from custom roms, only benefit I see is removal of bloat, if there is any really.

It ships with stock so run stock for a few weeks to establish a baseline for stability and speed before you go experimenting.

I would wait a couple months. Stock nexus 7 runs great. Just unlock and root it. After a couple months Roms will start to mature and you will also see which ones seem to be leading, me personally, I love to flash. But I, very happy with stock and nova launcher. There are some things I would like from full tablet ui. But every ROM is promising the world. Just waiting to see which ones take the lead.
So just wait for now. no rush, do you hate stock that much?
Edit:
Plus people are having some issues booting into recovery without a USB or adb

Have tried just about all the popular ones out as of yet, favorite so far has to be TeamEOS' nightlies. Very stable, UI works great, launcher rotation, and has the ICS style status bar, which I prefer.

I've been using the Pure AOSP rom, I used the stock for a couple of days and then switched, never looked back. There aren't a lot of differences between stock and the Pure AOSP, but the AOSP rom provides a cleaner starting point and the camera works by default.

I'm currently running stock, I just rooted and unlocked so I'm set whenever the stable full roms start kicking in. No need to rush it, just stick with stock for now

I think you are right about that. Although I flash Roms on my galaxy note, I could not see the need on the nexus 7 because it runs better than any ROM I ever put on the note
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I keep trying new ones in hopes that it will somehow get even better, but keep returning to stock.
Nothing is as smooth.
Currently running stock, rooted, deodexed. With the tabletUI mod. Nova launcher. awesome.

I'm running BAMF Paradigm. It's absolutely an amazing blend of custom features that offer visual and performance related options to really make it your tablet, I'm very happy with it, I've run several others also. DEFINITELY recommend Motley's kernel, it's one of the things I love most about the nexus 7. Also Aaronpoweruser's (sp) cookies and cream rom ran really good for me.

Just go for a different kernel rather than ROM, I tried out Trinity today (only got the 7 yesterday) and I find its quite slick..

Hundred percent agree. I have Paranoid Android on there just for the Tablet UI changes. I have found that Kernel Improvements do help drastically.

plain old pure aosp. its clean and fast, with the trinity kernel at least

I have only tried Jelly Bean Glazed V1.1.2 with motley kernel and I love it! Rock solid stability, amazing speed and great customization.

I've also found that Glazed is the only ROM of the one's that I've tried so far that let's me use Amazon Instant Video from the Amazon web site.

4.2.2 AOSP ROM with Tablet UI?

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.

But it doesn't do tablet UI eh?
I use SmoothRom. Just because it has mods and options, doesn't mean you have to enable them all.

Did you even go to the thread I posted? My mods for stock include extended power menu, volume rocker music skip, percentage battery, and yes tabletUI. And the stock ROM packages are rooted and zipaligned.

[Request] Quick Setting Panel Customized -solved

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.
Thanks in advance!!
Solution:
Install Xposed framework

I highly recommend Cataclysm Rom, the best rom for Nexus 5 by far imo. It has almost every mods and tweaks you need except for theme chooser, etc.

I want the same. I want to keep stock rom as I love the pure aosp.

Stock is not AOSP. This is Google's version of Android. AOSP is the open source project that everyone works from.

I want Google ROM with a few mods. One being the quick settings mod. If anyone does this or needs a tester please let me know.

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!

Just use Power Toggles in the meantime.

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.

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.

[Q] Pure AOSP Nexus Like

I know that the Nexus 5 pretty much has the same hardware as our G2.
So I was wondering if we can flash the G2 kernel from a ROM... say MAHDI... and add the system images from Nexus 5, will everything work??
I don't want any excess customizations as the ones that are available in many roms. I want the Nexus experience on my G2.

I'm not sure either, in theory it should work, I was actually wondering the same thing

has anyone ever tried it?? I don't wanna try it with the possibility remaining that I could brick my G2...

Why not install an AOSP ROM and pretend the customizations aren't there? Most of the AOSP ROMs are pretty close to "stock" out of the box.
When I had my nexus it had a custom ROM on it within an hour.

Most of the custom ROMs, when in their early days, have stock Android, are pretty stable, but as the features are added, they start misbehaving.
Not talking about SODs or Random reboots in G2 in the early days.
Issues with the framework, etc.

@FatHeadBob
Here's a thread already asking for what you wanted.
i.e. install an AOSP based ROM like CM or other flavor.

ROM Request

Hello one and all!
Is anyone interested in porting over [non-touchwhiz] Cyanogenmod to our lovely Galaxy S5?
This phone would be so fantastic running smooth AOSP-like android 4.4.
If anyone would like to, I'd be so very happy. I can't do it myself as unfortunately my coding experience lies in HTML/PHP and the web in general.
As thanks for whoever helps me in this, I can provide hosting for some projects of theirs.
If you're reading this, even if you cannot help, post/vote to show your interest in seeing this accomplished!

According to the Cyanogenmod website, they're working on the S5 right now. Give it a couple of weeks I guess and until then, my S5 is sitting on the shelf and I'll continue with my Nexus 5. Even with better specs, the S5 on TW is clunky and laggy compared to the AOSP based Nexus 5.

Cm is even clunky on the nex5 when u compare it to true aosp ROMs like slimkat or paranoid android.

Yeah, I've still got my SIM in my S3 for now- running nightlies of CM.
And I've just noticed that post- looks like they posted that at the same time I posted this.

Do you know that Paranoid Android is running a CM base? Or did they finally split off completely?

Anybody know if features such as finger print scanner, TV remote control and heartbeat monitor will work on aosp?

Those will be something that you would have to add in to AOSP Android.
That being said, all bar the fingerprint scanner have apps already in one form or another in the Play Store.
