I'm new to Nexus devices in general. I used HTC phones before but this is my first vanilla device. I need help with whatever be be the best ROM to use that I could use as a daily driver.

there is no such thing as a best rom. i suggest you try out a bunch, find one that suits your needs and that your device likes. what is the best rom threads arent allowed on xda, and this thread will probably get closed soon. there are many threads started with the same question every day, you should search for them.
What I probably should have said is what Roman would you prefer for someone that is new to Nexus devices.

again, try out a few. find one that fills your needs. personally, i prefer to not see whats the best rom threads. im not trying to be an a$$, its just that these threads arent allowed on xda, they cause people to argue about best roms, when best is subjective to the user.
I've recently bought my Nexus 7 32GB Wifi, and I'm kinda flashaholic... And since I'm new to this device, I don't really know which ROMs are the best... As I've seen, most of the ROM OPs do not post ROM-bugs, which I find pretty frustrating, so I'll give you guys a list over things I'm looking for (I think you know more great ROMs than me, since I've just had my Nexus for 4 days!).
I like the stock ROM very much because of its stability, but I miss some customizations!
Okay, here's the list over what I'm looking for:
-A very stable and bugless (almost) ROM!
-A well-featured ROM with many customizations...
-A fast and powerfull ROM which don't shorten my tablets lifetime! (I'm thinking of no under/overvoltage, etc...
-And ofc... Android 4.2.1+
-The ability to place any widget on the lockscreen!
-Good battery-life!
Don't hate me if I want too much...
Thanks!

See sig
Stock rom
Which food should you like? What color should be your favorite? Like the subject matter of your post, no one can, or should, answer these questions but you. Test drive some and see what YOU like best... see what performs best on your unique hardware.
Oh, and IBTL.

I totally agree to the above opinion. To select your ROM, the following thread may help you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36018963
If this is your 1st time to flash a custom ROM, i recommend CyanogenMod or AOKP. If you're looking for ROMs for tablet UI, please try ParanoidAndroid or SGT7.
Anyway ,try many ROMs to find out your favorite. enjoy
Seriously? If you scroll down just a little, you will see 1000 people who asked the same question. Read those. People starting new threads to ask this exact question twice every day insane, and has to be bad for server space. The devs take alot of time to write out exactly what their rom offers, bugs, pros and cons so you can be educated. To not read them and take the lazy route and srart a new thread is disrespectful to their efforts. Sorry, but after seeing this same thing so many times, it gets rediculous.

I was actually asking for your opinion, not hate because I'm curious! And I've never seem to find a good ROM with looking in other threads made by people with other needs!
And, no! This is not the first time I've flashed a ROM!

The issue is that thread such this are tiredly pointless. No one but you can answer your question. The only rom that you should choose is the one that you try for yourself and; ends up being what you like. No one is clairvoyant enough to predict what will give you the feature set you'll be happiest with or how a given rom will perform on your unique hardware.
The mods invariably lock these threads a soon as they catch wind of them for this very reason. I imagine the only reason it survived as long as it has is only because it hasn't popped up on their radar yet.
Rather than wasting your time and energy asking what you should choose, go to the Dev forum, read up on some of the offerings available, and then test drive the ones that pique your interest until you find the one that satisfies you.
No hate- just sound, practical advice.

You have responded twice in a thread that you think is useless......don't like the thread? Don't respond. Very easy.

Closed, we don't allow best ROM threads. Try them and see
Which one do you guys prefer and why.

Not sure if these threads are allowed. Causes a lot of problems usually...
haha was waiting for one of these to come up..
Try them for yourself and decide depends on everybody's. I've been using trickdroid. But ARHD is just as good IMO

If this thread is an issue it can be removed. I didnt know it wasn't allowed.

The best way to stop this thread getting messy is probably just a systematic review of both ROM's and make a few major sections (features, smoothness, etc) and then say which one has more or is better.
OFC that would require constant updating
Best thing is to try one, if you still want to try the other then most likely the current ROM isn't what your looking for.
Please just read each rom's respective thread. These threads typically turn into flame wars, etc
Closed
I dint want to start a comparison thread as this isn't allowed or isn't respectful to the devs. I'm just wondering on people's recommendations on a custom rom as it's being a while since I've had a Samsung device.
Many thanks

Asking for people's recommendations is the lazy way to do it
Also you're probably not going to end up with the perfect ROM for you this way as everyone's opinion on the best ROM is different - everyone uses the phone in a different way and different things suit different people.
My advice would be to go into the development forum, choose a few threads, find a ROM you like the look of, download it and try it for a few days to see if you like it. If you do, great! If not, simply flash a different ROM
Thread closed.
Could anyone tell me what they think the best ROMs are for this phone?
I'm getting one next week and my partner just got one, and she wants to learn about Android and how to customise and I want to know what the notable ROMs are.
I'm aware I'm opening myself up to "Use the search function" and "n00b" type replies here, but yeah.
Thanks in advance guys!

Oh sorry should also clarify; not looking for vanilla ROMs, or MIUI or anything like that. Wanted one based on TouchWiz.
TIA

Mod Edit
"Best" or "Recommend" ROM / Kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself. That is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,
and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.
