Trying to find out why certain ROM and kernel combos cause Bluetooth audio to crackle using audio enhancements when faux stated that he doesn't touch Bluetooth audio with his enhancements. I'm currently running The Derek Jays ROM and kernel and it doesn't have these issues. As a matter if fact my plantronics back beat go headphones have never sounded this good.
So, basically if there are no issues, let me know what you are running and I'll see if I can find a common denominator.

Hello,
Just downgraded our Nexus 7 (wifi) to stock 4.1.2 because of issues experienced with 4.2.2. Can anyone recommend a stable 4.1.2 ROM & kernel with good battery life? I was looking at Paranoid Android, but I don't know when the last 4.1.2 update was.
Problems experiencing on 4.2+:
Slow charging on AC adapter
Genrally laggy performance
Audio is a bit crackly
After playing music all night the audio sounds like an old tape player with a dying battery. Skips and slow sounding. Pausing and unpausing audio player fixes it, but annoying.
Thanks!
If you can fond it cookies and creeme and clemsyns 2ghz kernel I got benchmarks at like 8500 in quadrant

I'm curious on your first point, since using an AC charger rated for 2.1Amp I've actually watched the battery widget show it was drawing in upward to 1.8A when charging (it gets lower the closer it gets to 100%). So I'm wondering if it's more the charger issue there (the one that ships with N7 supposed to be a 2Amp charger).
Far as the second one, I think it depends, I haven't had any laggy experiences using the 4.2.2 rom in my signature.
Audio... can't say I had crackly issues, but I haven't played with it that heavily in terms of audio playback.
Course none of this answers your initial question.

These types of threads are not allowed on XDA because they lead to opinionated and subjective replies. Plus the fact that people get sick of seeing "what is best rom?" type threads all the time.
If you want that sort of thing go read here or try roms and find whats best for you.
Thread class @TheATHEiST summed it up very well.
These types of threads are just not aloud on XDA as a best ROM is down to your own taste and if you ask people many will give different views which will just result in arguments.
Your best bet is to just try a range of ROMs yourself to find out which you feel is best for you.
Hey Guys!
I am pretty new to the world of flashing ROMs, and am trying to experiment as much as I can! I recently rooted my phone (myTouch 4g) to escape the HTC Sense bloatware and kind of escape the gingerbread environment and use custom ROMs that people have developed. Of course, I've had my phone since 2010, and its been working great since. Not looking forward to getting a new phone anytime soon (it does what I want it to do well).
That being said, I currently am experimenting out CM7.2, was curious to hear what ROMs people who use the myTouch 4G as their daily drivers use. I am considering trying out one of the ported CM10.1 ROMs later tonight.
Looking forward to hearing from all of you guys!
~Darkgiants
Last Cyanogenmod 7 nightly.
I might also recommend Coderzs 4.2.2 Slimbean, Team Inferno's ShenduOS 4.2.1, or my AoCP 4.2.2 lol.
For ICS I recommend Synthetic Nightmare's AOSPx. Also I'm porting a CyanogenMod7 Type of rom, but with more features
Whatever I tried to install on it (including few JB-based ROMs) I always go back to CM7. Anything else is either less stable or uses battery or something is not working well (like camera on JB).

I use Albinoman's 8/24 build of AOSP 4.3 / CM 10.2. It has a few very minor issues but in daily use I find it's very stable...
too stubborn
Too stubborn to use CM7 I fought installing it and keep working with SlimBean 4.3 even though it is still buggy, well mostly for me. I should just back down to 4.22, but hmm here comes that stubborn issue.
I was on a small vacation, and now am about ~7 days till I move into my college dorm and start my college life. Here are few things I figured I should mention:
I am currently using the CM10.1 AOSP JellyBean ROM by albinoman887 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40665477), so far, its been awesome!
Though, there are few concerns about this ROM as a daily driver:
1. The battery life, it really does die out way too fast. It obviously is a concern for me, being in college, I would like to have something mobile and something that can last me an entire day without having to plug my phone into a charging unit. Of course, I was not expecting a perfect ROM for battery life that would be capable of running the latest Android, so all in all, the battery issue evens out, and should not be a shocker to anyone trying out the ROM.
2. I currently am running everything off of a 8GB Micro SD card, which is now full (I am waiting for my 32GB card to come in within the next few days), but when I do use apps such as SnapChat, or Instagram, it prevents me from using my camera with various errors every time. I suspect this to be the full SD memory card, I will make sure to post an update on this issue.
3. The ROM itself is FAST. I mean FAST. It really sets a definition of "multi-tasking" on the myTouch 4G.
There is a new September update for this ROM (I am going to install this update once I get my new SD card) and will also touch on how the update is, and what was resolved. As of right now, this ROM is beautiful, does require a bit of elbow geese to configure the settings to your likings, but that is the payoff.
I have tried CM7 briefly, escaped the ROM, its the most stable ROM anyone can ask for, but I personally don't want to go back to Gingerbread.
Thanks a lot XDA forums for allowing the opportunity to mess with our phones!
I bought myTouch 4g about 2 years ago. Sense Rom was installed for most of its lifetime; mysense (stock), Sense 3, then Sense 3.5, and now sense 4.1. Currently using ViperTouch 2.1.4 sense rom it is the most stable sense rom I found where all the hardware are functional. Battery life has not bad when keeping in 2G mode. I switch it to 3G with I need to browse something. Before ViperTouch I used CM 10.1 from albinoman887 for about 3 month to try out JB, it was really smooth and clean lightweight. I decided to go back to Sense after headphone heatup, camera and mic not working properly. I tried out CM 10.2 Android 4.3 albinoman887, it was smooth for the most part, but i couldn't use it as daily driver same 10.1 issues were resolved. So Sense 4.1 ICS is my current daily driver.

I am using AOCP now but currently looking for a bug-free ROM.
As far as I know, there are still a few bugs in 4.2.2 including:
1. Headset heat up when plugged in.
2. Green line in camera.
3. Signal drop after a missing call.
4. Camera flash delay.
Is there any 4.1 and above ROM without those problems? Please let me know. 1. and 3. is really annoying to me. Thank you!
I am using PAC rom . it's really awesome

Yes, but it's a little bit annoying so I'd go back to a bug-free version
And somehow the game I'm playing (Rage of Bahamut) doesn't display right in some screen.
Tried ShenduOS and everything looks great. Until I find the 'phone' is not working, lol.
Hey guys!
So, I have been rocking this current ROM for a while now! I must admit, I've had few problems recently, but so far it works and gets the job done. I am now in the process of debating if I should revert down to one of the most stable ROMs for this phone (CM7.2) or to continue rocking this current ROM and try to see if I can help in terms of fixing current issues.
My classes start tomorrow! I will post an in-depth update on my issues this weekend!

Keep an eye on N_otori0us_, he's been really making some moves trying to fix 1. 2 you usually see patches from OP's in thier thread to fix it.
At least you don't have the screen flicker bug also.

If you see a bug in my roms. Tell me lol.
There's a fix for green line that coderzs made. And the. 64 is a temporary fix for the headset heat.
Not sure what else to fix though...

I was referring to how you are trying to fix the headset issue overall, not how you have any bugs in your roms.
Now I've been using PACman_GLACIER 19.3 for 2 weeks. Very stable, fast and no bug (except sometimes when it boots up, Link2SD notifies me to hot reboot to make SD partition mount)
You should check out the links in this thread.

Especially those of you who like ViperTouch. They are from a Chinese forum so you'll need to translate but the ROMs can be set to English on setup.
I might call it an end with my current ROM... it is currently becoming way too unstable for my abilities as a daily driver. Current issues include:
1. Battery life - I literally drop from 100% to 60% in a matter of 2 hours only using Wi-Fi for browsing the New York Times.
2. Phone screen flickers when locked (may be linked to battery life)
3. Certain apps that require a camera just do not cooperate
4. Green like in all pictures + picture quality not the same versus when the ROM was installed freash
5. Crashes and freezes a lot
Overall, this ROM was good, but as time progressed, its performance decreased as well.
Currently about to try Albinomans latest Jelly Bean ROM, or even try out the AoCP rom!
Well my Galaxy S2 decided to break its screen.. with an upgrade a few short months away, i set out to find a "craigslist special"... and found a mint Nexus S 4g for $40... haha
First time on a true Nexus device. I dig the vanilla android. (I flashed a nexus type rom on to my S2)...
Congrats. You just bought THE best phone my friend.
Enjoy.

There are some nice ROM's doing the rounds. The dev community is still very active for a legacy device. 4.3.1 is available. I am currently trying CM10.2 nightlies. They are perfectly fine for daily use but still need some work. I haven't tried any other 4.3. ROM's yet.
I think the sweet spot for this phone is 4.2. I think I will flash back to a 4.2. ROM at some stage in the future. I really liked JellyShot ROM with Devil kernel. That was a nice combo for me. I still have it as a Nandroid for future use.
I am definitely going to try HellyBean 4.3 at some stage in the future and possibly PA 4.3.
The reason why I have stuck with this phone for so long is that the audio over headphones is nothing short of amazing when when used with the Voodoo sound app. I sold my iPod video (which was regarded as the best sounding iPod) as soon as I rooted and put Voodoo sound on my Nexus S. It will blow your S2 out of the water when it comes to audio.
Best of luck.

I noticed the same thing. It seems to be better than my S4 also. I've been trying to get it running again to use it as a media player, (mine is bootlooping) but no luck. I seem to have USB issues that won't let some things flash
Hello guys, I currently own a nexus 2nd Gen it's rooted and running the latest cm 11 nightly build. Sometimes it make a buzzing noise while I'm listening to music or watching videos or it froze and restart itself that happen at least 3-4 times a day. I was wondering if that happens anyone else and how to fix it
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I've never had the buzzing but I don't use the speakers much.
The freezing and rebooting I have had both on stock and cm11. Best uptime I'd get was ~24 hours.
After flashing the latest Glitch kernel it's been up for ~106 hours. All location services turned on, syncing, google now, same apps etc.
Too soon to tell I guess but definitely an improvement.
I thought I was the only one it's getting really annoying, other roms are fine
I sometimes have buzzing sound for a short period of time. But I am using stock rooted 4.4.2.
I get this too, also happens in games
happened to me only on stock cm11
I ask this everywhere but does OTG work with latest cm11 nightly for flo? It is important for me since I cannot flash any other kernel to get it working

Can you tell all your glitch kernel settings?
Buzzing Noise fix
Flash the stock Android 4.4.2 ROM back on your Nexus 7 and the install Xposed.
Why would you need a custom version of 4.4.2 on your tablet that's already running 4.4.2 when the Xposed Framework works just as well.
EDIT - I've had no problems with buzzing noises or freezing on stock rom with unlocked bootloader and rooted.
Yup - same here. I've actually experienced this on both CM 10 and CM 11. The audio distortion out of the speakers is horrible. CM roms are the only ones that have this problem. I wonder if it has something to do with DSP Manager that's included with the CM Roms??
I agree with previous posters in this thread too - Stock rooted 4.4.2 is all you really need. Been flawless on my N7 2013.
I have the same issue
It usually happens when I watch a video from youtube or twitch. My tablet buzzes like kind of similar to someone getting an answer wrong in a game show.
I just need to go back to stock.
Can confirm that there's a buzz sound and a 1-3 second freeze using the CM11-M2 build.
After flashing the Jan 24 CM11 build, and the glitch kernel (using all stock settings except overclock to 1.7ghz cpu and 500mhz GPU), buzz sound is gone and all is well.
It happened to me with latest cm nightlies, and with all of them I had freezes and hangs. I went back to stock rom with elementalx kernel and i don't have any of these issues. I think cm overall is less stable and faster than stock rom. it's good for non nexus devices, but with nexus is better to stick to stock. I've tried other ROMs as well, nothing compares to stock in performance and stability.

Glitch kernel + cm nightlies = awesome mode
Still have more than 30% battery left
I have a problem with play store. It doesn´t load all the app images. Some of them are just blank while browsing apps.
I have tried latest nightlies, clearing app data and I have even tried a factory reset and I am still experienceing the same problem.
Anyone else having this problem?
