Stock, because all the ROMs I've tried have been buggy and don't offer a great deal of additional functionality. I do have high hopes for PA though, once thier multi-window is finished. I have rooted the tablet though, mainly for the aosp browser.
I haven't had any real bugs with CM and PA, but AOKP has some weird theming bugs with settings not taking.
I use Pacman, which has CM, PA, and AOKP... All in one package.
KTManta kernel is hands-down my favorite kernel, as well.
PA was put on my Nexus straight away since I detest the phablet look, but now they're adding other things such as halo which is great. Plus PA makes mes want a Nexus 4 to get the most out of it on my phone too.

PA is nice and a great ROM, but if you need performance, sadly, it sucks. I haven't tried the latest build with halo, but on 3.15 the performance is really bad on games.
I use PA for the Hybrid engine. It is truly brilliant. I get very few errors in terms of performance and the tablet crashes occasionally but it's worth it--especially for Halo alone. Hopefully they will start to develop the Halo functionality in regards to tablets having multi-window rather than stacked Halo processes.

Mmuzzy's rom. Close to stock, rooted, with a couple little tweaks. Check it out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2071082
Rasbeanjelly + franco.Kernel
Not a ton of customization, lightweight, fast and optimized. And can use the same combination across all my devices (N4, N7, and N10).
I never used PA, but have heard quite a few reports of it being somewhat on the worse-side for performance.
Carbon ROM, felt the smoothest for me and had all the customizations I needed. A second for me would be Sentinel ROM. I guess it depends on what your main preference is. If its AOSP (stock), PA, cyanogen, or AOKP. They all offer something different. The best way is try a ROM and see if you are comfortable with the usage of that ROM. Also Kernel can also help play a role in your ROM choice.
I use the last RasSaber build, dont know where it is available anymore though. It gives me enough of the customization that I want, a nice built in theme, and very smooth performance with great battery life. For kernel I use the KTManta kernel because it offers the best battery life through undervolting and also gives me the best performance. Lots of fun options with it if your into that sort of thing.
Can you please share the rom if you have the package ? I dont find it neighter

I like EOS ROM + Trinity kernel for outstanding performance and just the right amount of features I need.
But rasbeanjelly, RasSaber, Sabermod, and Sentinel are all top notch in my book.

And by PA you guys are reffering to Paranandroid right?
So would you recommend sticking to rooted stock rom? Is that stablet enough for Battery/Gaming/OverallPerformance
You can if you want to, but you can get more performance on custom stuff. Or less performance but a LOT more features if you choose ParanoidAndroid.

Except for the sound settings being broken, PACman has plenty of features.

Someone should do a performance check on PAC ROM. If it has all these features from different ROMs, including P.A. then it *should* also have similar performance right? Would be pretty weird if another dev who ported Paranoid Android features got it working way better when mixed with even more things on top.

Not sure if this was directed to me from my post right before this. Ill assume it was since it was about a ROM that wasnt available anymore. Anyway, Seems it is everyone's lucky day because we now have a new build of RasSaber avalable so people can download it again

Hello everyone, i just bought nexus 4 today came from SGS4 i9500 and been using the phone for the past couple of hours and i'm liking it a lot, very smooth and sexy lol.Anyways, like every android i get i go for custom roms, so as a new nexus member i have no idea what good roms, kernels to flash and would really appreciate it if someone can help me with this and sure any useful info about the phone ( like what the good/bad in nexus) i should know of as a nexus starter just let me know please, Thank you in advance.
Welcome to the family!
Franco kernel is a good choice to go with.
I don't know which ROM is good though since I like stock alot!

Hello dear Sir/Madam,
The decision was right, the Nexus 4 is an awesome device, suk it Samsung!
In my personal experience, best roms are Cyanogenmod nightlies 10.1/10.2 (10.2 if you want 4.3 base) and MIUI V5 (awesome theming capabilities). Best kernel, in terms of battery saving and performance is faux123 kernel. It allows you to enhance screen colors, ram usage and also undervolting control (which saves battery) with very smart cpu governor, enabling the full nexus 4 performance right when you need it! It also gives control over various other functions, such as gpu overclocking, giving even better graphic performance.

I been a samsung customer for so long and cant deny the fact that samsung are so good when it comes to mobiles but the galaxy S4 i9500 variant disappointed me a lot.Anyway i sure will try the kernel and the roms you suggested and see how it will go.(looking at the N4 dev threads , tons of custom roms and kernels which makes it not easy to decide what to flash lol )

It is generally a good advice to check the respective rom threads for the functions you require. Eg if you require a rom with pie control, check the rom thread for pie control on the feature list ( if there is one ). My own experience shows that most functions are not really needed, such as aforementioned pie control, that is just a comfort function, if at all. Most important function is Quiet Hours, which does not work on many roms, for whatever reason. Again, i can recommend MIUI V5 rom. It has awesome themes, you can even make your Nexus 4's OS look like an iPhone with IOS7! MIUI also features animated symbols, like the calendar or clock app. Their symbols change according to time/date. Same applies for the data usage icon. After you have set up your data plan's limit, the icon will update automatically, depending on your data usage.
I can suggest the pacman rom.
It's kinda paranoid android, aokp and cyanogenmod mashed into one

Welcome to the Nexus4 and Happy Flashing!
Thanks guys for all the help . i really appreciate it . I still have one question about the rooting method, i actually saw couple of methods on how to root N4 running android 4.2.2, well now after i upgraded to 4.3 im a bit lost on whats the best method to root N4, just wanna make it right and dont wanna ruin this lovely sweet phone lol.
im getting the Nexus 7 from Google (7-Inch, 16 GB, Black) by ASUS (2013) Tablet
model #: NEXUS7 ASUS-2B16
i will be purchasing off amazon this week and was wondering in terms of: Stability, Performance/Battery, and customizations, which ROM is best for me?
i have been absent to the rooting/flashing scene since my galaxy s2 days, so please bare with me. i think i was using cyno or something back then lol.
There are a lot too choose from all good in various ways. I like dirty unicorns and liquid smooth.

thanks for the reply, i will look into both.. lmfao dirty unicorns
I like stock because it's stable, unlike most custom ROMs.
I'm running Exodus with no complaints. Smooth, problem free so far.
Stock.
Seriously though, no disrespect to all our great devs, but I haven't really felt much need to change much of anything from stock since Kit Kat came out. I used to use Xposed to change a few things here and there, but gave that up for the increased performance of the ART runtime once Kit Kat dropped. Stock Android is really great these days, and personally it's the main draw of a Nexus device. Properly optimized software released on or even ahead of Google's announcements, with the ability to build it easily yourself and restore your device from whatever shenanigans you've gotten it into; that's the Nexus experience.
That being said, I really enjoy optimizing performance as much as possible. A great rom for that is Flonaro, which is stock that's been optimized by building with the Linaro toolchain. Doing this properly is a challenge, but this is one that does it justice. Also, there are a ton of great kernels to choose from to take performance and often battery life to the next level. Franco kernel is awesome and I'm eagerly awaiting a Lollipop release. Check out ElementalX and Glitch kernel as well, flar2 and TK-Glitch are awesome devs that really pay attention to the users, and their kernels offer a ton of customization to balance performance and stamina. Just make sure you use only AOSP kernels on AOSP roms, there are alot of CAF-based roms and kernels as well (often referred to as CM variants, since CM clones Qualcomm's Code Aurora Forums repo rather than using pure AOSP as their base). Mixing a rom and kernel from these 2 different bases will not yield great results.

As a Nexus Device ,Nexus 7 (2013) got so many options..I use Clean ROM (Stock ROM with lot of performance optimizations) & Paranoid Android (Mostly Stable).As You Know about Custom ROMS,I would suggest you try each ROM by using MultiROM Manager from Playstore..This App helps You to install any number of ROMS simultaneously.
I suggest You to try Paranoid Android as it has some good features without compromising on Performance
Xposed Framework is an awesome Tool which brings a lots of customizations of Custom ROMs in Stock Android.Also Check the XDA developer page of Nexus 7 (2013) to find more ROMS info

I really can't recommend enough Mahdi with Glitch 226 AOSP kernel
Been running paranoid android on my nex7 for a year and a half now without any issues. Stable as can be. Use Franco's kernel for extra stability and you're all set. Either that or stick to stock lollipop. Can't really go wrong with either of those options.

There is no best Rom. Usually these threads are closed pretty quickly.
I'm surprised it's still here.

What can i say. Us Mods are only human, and even threads like this may slip through our keen grasp.
That said, what Mind says is right. There is no "best" ROM. Each is different; some adds customization, some focus on speed. There is no singular ROM that does it all. The best advice, is to try a few, and see which floats your boat, and go from there...
Hello guys, what is the most better, customized rom for nexus 6p?
Normally when it comes to Nexus roms, there is no real best ROM. Its all about what u want and don't want. Some are heavily customised, some are almost stock, some come with fancy kernels, etc. But all of them have some small bugs, nothing to keep most form calling them a daily driver, but some. The ones with the least bugs and quicker development are normally the most replied. But just do a backup and try them for yourself. That's what most people will tell u.

I started out with Screw'd rom with synapse and ak kernel (and the kernel updater) which I like very much. As of now I am sitting with the current Screw'd rom and beta testing the Nethunter 2.1 kernel. Loving it!

There is no best ROM, what's best is purely subjective and changes from user to user. These kinds of threads go nowhere, you'll just get a bunch of different opinions. What's best for you can only be decided by you via your own testing.
I was on pure Nexus for a few weeks...had to flash back to stock to get AirWatch mdm to work.
Since then I rooted and am just going stock with Xposed. GravityBox plus a few other modules can do pretty much anything I needed a custom ROM to do.
Is stock with xposed n Franco working correctly?

Are there any ROMs currently developed in CAF?
I'm running Ubermallow ROM and R23 Kylo Kernel.
Smooth, stable, and using the built in Kernel auditor I use Barry-Allen and Despair governors for battery life that lasts for days. My favorite set up for sure :good:
I'm using Chroma and FK with Xposed as my daily driver and cannot be happier at this time with the combo
Dang, Xposed and Franco...I'm very happy with the 6P stock as is. But that sounds nice. Xposed and any of those good kernels.

Hello everyone,
After weeks of reading & seeing tests and videos about Nexus 6P, I'm now thinking about buying one.
I've got the International Exynos Galaxy note 3 for two years now, with the CM12.1, it did the job until now, but it got old.
My question is : what's the best rom (custom or stock) for the Nexus 6p? I want the smoothest rom, with a good battery life (I don't care if it's odexed or deodexed)
P.S : I live in algeria, we dont have 4g, Project FI, Google Now...etc

There is no better ROM.
Similar to me saying that's the best phone, or best car. There is no answer because with choice comes preference and opinion..no one can tell you what you need to know.
Also didn't think these threads were allowed on XDA?
Personally using beanstalk and its been decent.
So has pure, resurrection, screwd and I've heard good things about the others.
All very similar to be honest.

I came note series myself and the last one was the note 5. But due to disappointments around overall speed and smoothness of note 5 considering it has more eye watering specs than the nexus 6p, I settled for a nexus 6p. Usually with samsung I always had to use custom roms and kernel in order to get some better performance out of it. Am pleased to say with nexus 6p I still haven't installed a custom rom and kernel because this phone is fast out of the box. Try stock first and if you feel you need more power then go custom.

Thx for the answer dude
Which one would you prefer if you had to choose and why?
flar2´s Kernel is my personal choice. I´ve been using his Kernels for a long time with a Nexus 5 (2013), Nexus 7 (2013) and now with a Nexus 6P. I like this Kernel a lot and also purchased his App. This is my personal experience, other guys might like other Kernels too. It´s hard to decide which Kernel is the "best" since everybody has different preferences and experiences.
you shouldnt make this thread...its 1. detrimental for new and upcoming dev 2. it persuade peple to use one or the other (elemental or Franco) 3. doesnt teach people how to search.
Iv'e used Franco for years but recently gave elemental a try and have noticed a huge jump in battery life but i have to give it more time to see if ill keep it.
Neither. Kylo all the way.
