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.

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?

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..

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.
I am looking at the Rom's and am itching to flash one to go with the Matrix kernel but I don't know what to choose!
I was looking at "[ROM] Android Open Kang Project - MAKO - JBean 4.2" but never ran AOKP before so I'm unsure. Then Cyanogenmod has the nightlys out now so I could flash an official one from the website or go for KonstantineKeller"s "[ROM] CyanogenMod 10.1 Unofficial - Mako - JellyBean 4.2 [NOV/25/2012]"
Stock is treating me very well but I never ran stock in so long, I always ran Cyanogen or Viper rom on my Sensation!
I like the customization of the custom Roms but am worried about stability.
I am stuck in a swirling torrent of indecisiveness... help.
Waiting a week or two for more mature CM10.1 and CM10.1-based ROMs.
I do have my bootloader unlocked and CWM installed in preparation, though.
I've got my circle battery mod, and pretty soon I'll flash a kernel so I can undervolt a little. If someone comes up with way to use the volume button for music controls, I won't have any reason to flash a new rom. gotta love stock android.
I think I'm staying stock until a proper CM or AOKP rom goes out, I had a Galaxy S3 and the CM and AOKP overall experience is/was pretty bad because of the propietary drivers. So until N4 gets AOSP, no custom roms for me.
but tstock nexus 4 runs simply great, so at least for now, it's ok.

Yeah I'm still on stock too. Just came from the HTC One X running CM10 and really enjoying the smoothness of stock on the N4. Only things I miss are the music controls from volume rocker (skip forward/backwards) and the theme chooser.

I'm with you too. This is the first time I haven't had the urge to root and flash from the get go. Android 4.2 really is great and I am only missing a few features from aokp. I will however root and flash as soon as we get stable aokp because I don't want to deal with bugs and instability issues on my sunny new device.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I am going to stay stock until I make sure all is well with my device. Besides that I actually like it just as it is.
I will also wait until some ROMs are stable and as bug free as possible. I don't want to have my device not have the front-facing camera or Bluetooth not work properly. Or some other issue.

I love Paranoid Android I have been using their rom ever since I had a gnex... and it's been running just fine on my N4!
Within an hour I was up and running with Paranoid Android. Such a simple device to unlock/root/flash etc especially with the tool kits. My first Android experience was with a HTC Legend where you needed to make gold cards and stuff. Wasn't complicated, just a lot of steps. Thankfully I moved to a HD2 which was a breeze to do most stuff.
With the N4 it was just download a program, install the press, load up the program, answer a question or two in relation to what build you have and the application updates. Press option #8 which does everything (unlock/root/flash) then about 5 minutes later you have everything done for you.
Cunning official CM10.1 nightlies. Quite stable, haven't had a problem as of yet.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
