[Q] Why does everyone use Paranoid?

So i've hesitated on rooting for a while now, but i finally did today. Now i'm looking for some good roms to flash, and i notice that a lot of N7 owners use PA. I want to know why? I tried CM10 and its pretty cool

Eh. I didn't like it. I had to RMA my tablet because the touchscreen was bein' cray.
But the interface of the rom? 10 points. Amazing. So fluent... it is a hybrid ROM that let's you use the tablet in tablet ui. And switch between stock, tablet, and phablet. I loved it.
Tldr;I hated it. I loved it.

The best thing to do is read the op for the pa rom and note the features it lists. All roms have their features listed to help you decide. Also, read other users comments within the thread to see what they are saying. It is all there waiting for you to read.
And for future reference, questions belong in the Q&A sub forum, not general.

It happens. I just mention it to avoid the posting, mod closing, and having to re post in the right section run around. Saves time all around, lol.

Probably better to ask in the Paranoid thread and get responses from actual users.

Tablet ui and stable

Tried it got massive force closes

Did you do a factory, cache, and dalvik wipe prior to installation?

I agree. PA has never felt as stable for me as CM. And I find that I prefer my tablet in portrait mode now, so I don't care about hybrid apps (plus the mail ones like email work proudly now)

I just tried it out and it was really unstable for something I would use everyday. I use SmoothROM and it is really stable. I put tablet UI and its perfect for my preference. It's all up on what people really want from their Nexus I guess.

Gotta disagree, as mods have gone on record stating that something such a that is outside of the scope of the Dev forum and against the rules. Replies in those threads are supposed to be limited to those relevant to development of the rom, such as bug reports. Asking a question of this nature in a Dev thread is only going to make it harder for folks to find relevant info in the thread.

I've been running PA on my N7 for a while now. Had 2.54 (the last 'stable' release) on my old 16GB and it was great. When I broke that one I got the 32GB and the first thing I flashed was PA 2.99 beta. Now running the 14-01-2013 beta build and for me its flawless. I love tablet UI and the ability to change the layout of individual apps and to set DPI to 160. PA Colours let's you choose custom colours for Nav bar, buttons etc. Its smooth and stable. Its like another device entirely. I even bought their Preferences Pro app to support the project and I'm eagerly awaiting P.A. 3
Combined with M-Kernel a30 and Trickster Mod I'm running at 1.9Ghz Max CPU and 600mhz GPU.
Its beastly. NFS:MW flies! Lol

So i actually tried PA, and besides the launcer FC it was nice. Though i did switch back to CM10.1

This is a known fault. Its easily sorted by installing a 3rd party launcher although I believe it is fixed in the new build (which I'm just about to flash)

a lot of n7 owners use rasbean jelly too

The launcher bug is just with the last beta release. I use Apex anyway. The new PIE navigation is pretty slick.

Use PA on my galaxy nexus and n4. Great ROM, lots of innovation, just some cool dudes. I haven't rooted my n7 yet but thinking about it.

Honestly i think i'd love to flash a PACman rom. Then i wouldn't have to go back and forth flashing PA, and CM10.1

Should I put CyanogenMod on my Nexus 4?

Hi, I'm new to the rooting/android community and I'm wondering if it is worth it to try out CyanogenMod... What are the pros and con's?
Thanks

More features. Possible* better battery.. There is so much and there's more than CM to try out

Yes.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Yeah, there are more features and probably better performance/battery. You could start out with the RC5 build since it is the most stable and updated build but generally the nightly builds are pretty stable with minor bugs too. Personally, I prefer AOSPA since it has very innovative features that make my phone that much more unique :]

If you don't like it you can flash another Rom or go back to stock. You'll probably end up trying different roms and finding out what you like.

sure man. couldnt hurt to learn a bit about your phone in the process as well
just dont be stuck with cm. its not the only stable rom, and it is definitely not the most stable so dont worry about having to just play it safe with cm.

Try PACman Rom, has Cyanogenmod, AOKP and Paranoid Android, the top 3 roms in my opinion. this way you can see all the features and then flash the rom you like the most or stick to it...whatever floats your boat

Yes

if you are satisfied with stock then No , if you feel some features that you would use are missing then go for it.
as for battery life, from my own experience, stock was the best option for me so far.

Use Carbon instead. Has the features CM has but a lot more. Nav width/height adjustment is a must for me. CM doesnt have that and wont put it in.

[Q]Good custom rom for Samsung galaxy S4

I have a samsung galaxy S4 SGH-I337M(canadian version) and im looking for a good rom out there. I whant to have a rom that gives you alot features, that gives the best performance to this devices and runs really smooth. I whant a rom that gives you alot of option's to customize. Can someone give a list of rom's that fit what I whant ?

You might want to try Goldeneye. I like it. It is touchwiz so you get the features of stock but a very nice smooth rom. Just one suggestion. :good:

Check the Dev threads.

Does it run smooth like cyanogenmod or does it lags sometimes like the original touchwiz?

It's not perfect, but it is much better than stock. Try it and if you don't like it you can always go back to cyanogenmod.

Aokp by task it is amazing

Sorry folks, all of the ROMs here are pretty good, it is really up to the user to determine which one works the best.
These threads get closed as users tend to make them arguments about one rom over another.

which rom

hey gents.. which rom are you on.. and do you like it? ive tried several.. had tons of issues.. network issues, no wifi, no screen, etc..

Just got the S4 been reading about each ROM for the last 2 weeks but none of them seems stable need a rom with everything working

Foxhound port to SM-n900A, gauging interest!

I have permission to port FoxHound from the International forums to our phone just like we did for X note.
I am currently working on my own MJ5 based rom, but could put this together if there is enough interest.
Let me know what the community wants
Brian

Go for it! That's what makes XDA great!

Git'er done!!
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Just by reading the op not seeing anything radically different or improved from xnote, but that's just me. Can't have too many choices, I guess.

Pls do. FoxHound rom looks like one of the best battery friendly one.

That is what I was kinda thinking. It's not much different. But with our small dev section everything helps right?

Up to you, it's your time you're investing. It looks like if you run aosp theme on xnote they even look the same. I think maybe xnote actually has more features with xnote control. Let the people decide I suppose, but for me it wouldn't be worth the time plus watching 2 threads for basically the same rom.

I have decided not to release this rom. It is not stable on my device and if i need to concentrate efforts to make it run, i would rather put my energy towards my rom that i am building.
I do apologize for the false hope, but i refuse to put something out that does not work as expected. Anyways, thanks for everyones attention!

Could you please see about implementing phablet ui on one of your ROMs, with the status bar/nav bar combo on the bottom of the screen? I miss this from the og note and note 2 more than anything else. Thanks for all your work

Yes! Please port this. The UI is very clean and simple in this ROM.

Hi @bri315317,
Is a port in the works?
