Looking for a new rom as a daily driver - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've grown bored of CM, Slim, and Paranoid Android, so I'm looking for an interesting rom, my main stipulation is the source has to be out there so I can go and look around in it (and likely build it since I'm weird like that), MIUI looks interesting, but I'm still looking to see if the source is out there.
So I'm looking for input, does anyone have any suggestions of a ROM I can take, build and customize my own version of and use as my main rom?

I don't believe MIUI releases source code.
And essentially any AOSP ROM that has a repo can easily be built. I used AICP to build from its repo and it worked fine. Customizing has different meanings to everyone.

I though miui was closed source not positive on that but either way its awesome ROM if you find anything good please share I was looking for something like MokeOS (sp?)

For what its worth I use and reccomend F2FS version of Carbon ROM, but it maybe too similar to CM,Slim,PA for you.

Found a good one I can work with, tried it in the past, at the time it was a bit much, anyway, it's PACman, I did like some of the things they did with it.

I suggest liquid smooth. Its super fast and there are a ton of built in customizations. And about the coolest boot animation I've ever seen

Why would anyone recommend miui. It looks like iOS lol go buy a damn iPhone
I recommend slimrom. Smooth, fast and stable.

If your using All-F2FS
I'm converting every nightly build to All-F2FS
So you can be always up to date with the latest build.

MIUI has some really great features.

Rastakat F2FS 4.4.3 + M-kernel a68 + ART is very fast and stable
Enviado desde mi Nexus 7 mediante Tapatalk

I have been seeing F2FS but cant get a grasp on what it does exactly. can someone explain this for a moron like myself?
Thanks in advance!

Trinity kernel thread
Sent from my HTC Incredible S
I've tried them all and I think that Kaos Droid is excellent. I use it with the Touchwiz theme (included) and it looks great. It's stable, fast, smooth and elegant.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I'd say Paranoid Android is the rom you should use. Kaos Droid is not that good. I used it for 2 weeks and when I dumped it I understood what I lost.
Codename Android - stable, regular updates, and a decent sized download for a rom that includes a substantial number of extra features.
You will not get a fast rom. The only thing that can make a rom seem fast is sped up animation's or completely disabled wich you can do on any rom. To make anything faster you need to find a good kernel. There are lots of great oms and kernel out here. Have a try yourself and see what you like best.
I prefer paranoid android for the tablet ui. Along with faux kernel or trinity.

If you like Paranoid Android but want the large amount of customization that Codename Android offers, you could also try this ROM, which is a combination of Paranoid and Codename. It looks awesome and I'm planning on flashing this soon.

Thanks for all the great advice. I really like Paranoid Android, so I'll try Cookies and Cream.

Thanks again.

Stock rom VS custom rom?

guys which do you think is better stock rom or custom rom? I think custom roms like cyanogenmod performs better than stock and have much more features!
Stock=4.1 very good.4.2=Networks error,random reboots.

Csto custom RMS are everything great about stock, customized to your own needs and tastes
Frankly, its totally subjective. Some swear by stock, and some by custom roms. Then, others by only specific custom roms. The only real right answer is the one you decide for yourself after experimentation. So, start the journey, and enjoy. Youll know what you prefer in no time! Have fun!

I totally agree with this.
Personally I'm a fan of Cyanogenmod. Just straight Cyanogenmod for me but others swear by CM derivatives like Parandoid Android.
I say try some different roms out and see how they work for you. I did this and found myself going back to Cyanogenmod. Now I actually purchase android devices based on whether or not they can run it.
I like CM10.1 so much that I've learned to build it myself and make my own nightlies

Why do you prefer CM?
Stock 4.2 works perfectly fine for me, + franco kernel.

I'm rooted but otherwise run stock. I like it. The vanilla Android is why I flashed custom Roms on my old Droid Inc 2 (because I HATED the Sense UI). And I get that vanilla style with stock.

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
Sent from my Dirty-Trinity-Unicorn'd Nexus⁴
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.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
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.

Is the N1 ColorOS coming to Find 5?

Hey guys.. The new color rom ui looks beautiful and fresh on the n1..just wondering would it be coming to the find 5 sometime?
I think sooner or later it will, color rom is already available for find 5 on the oppo forums, don't know if it's the same or a different version of color rom.
My guess is it will be the same ROM

if it isn't.... with oppo's track record on new-ROM creation, think the ColorOS for N1 will be stable, or beta-ware?
To be honest that's a great question. Firmware has gotten much better and continues to get better but can it be labeled "stable" with the amount of errors and problems some users are having... ? Not sure lol.. Hopefully stable
Sent from my Find 5 using Tapatalk 4
I'd rather see a ROM from CM with all the "features" such as Dirac audio and a fully featured camera app working.
The ColorOS got ported to htc one.. Seems like it can be ported to any phone with a base like miui.. Wow!

Nope because it is so bad that I flashed AOKP 4.3 again. It is like latest Color ROM V1.01.
I thought they'll be using the same rom on all theire devices with, of course, device specific changes?
