thank you but you didnt understand
Which would you recommend another ROM?
alegen dont seem popular

erm... why it has to be popular? It's more stable than other roms, I tested everything. Alegen is the best for now.

okey
ı will try it
does alegen have turkish language?
because parandroid android is some english some turkish. so ı dont like PA
thanks for all your post

For me the best are AICP, MAHDI, ALEGEN in that order.
For me the best kernels are dorimanx or Render.
Currently im using(and building) AICP+DORIMANX
ALEGEN : Battery wise the best is alegen by far, also pretty damn stable(dont like settings organization and for me its not as smooth as AICP)
MAHDI : been great since forever, stable and fast, standard battery life.
AICP : for me the fastest by far( using dorimanx and interactive is awesome), great organization, tons of features.didnt had the chance to full discharge the phone. Right now im 11hrs usage 4:27 SoT 45% left

On my old Nexus 4 Paranoid (on JB) used to have good features for using other DPI settings (eg the Paranoid Phablet mode).
The current Paranoid 4.4 for LG G2 is lacking this features still.
Is there any other ROM with a good implementation for this ?

If you don't mind spending an hour or more, try out all roms. That's what I always do.

Phablet ui and all hybrid settings where killed in the implementation of kitkat. So no. If you wanna change dpi you can do it on any rom, just changing the build.prop , some roms like vanir or AICP have a dpi changer( the same thing than changing from the file )

[Q] (Q) Reccomend rom and kernel combo?

Hi you guys, I just got my nexus 4 a week ago and rooted it right away.
I have been looking through the list of roms and I honestly don't know which is right for me.
I'm looking for a STABLE rom that knows how to balance battery life and power.
I don't care too much for customization, just a little would be nice (Nothing too overbearing).
It would be if the rom just knew what it was doing, and doesn't need me to constantly tweak things.
SO in all, just the BEST reccomnded rom and kernal combo.
Thank you in advance.
EDIT: I am currently running the stock rom, and franco r53 kernel
Slimbean. Stable, no bugs. As for kernels, they all are good. I like trinity and matrix
You will get a lot of different feedback what is the best. In the end it's a matter of taste.
atm I like AOKP with faux123 kernel. I heard the Minco Rom which comes with franco kernel should be very stable and smooth. And this rom and kernel where developed and supposed to work together:
"Welcome to the cross collaboration between myself & Francisco Franco.
We're proud to announce the first and ONLY Franco supported ROM. This ROM has been built from AOSP Jelly Bean."
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061573
I don't know if you already know this "index"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975842
try some of the AOSP ROMs and see what's best for you. Since there is no best combo for everyone.
Try EVERYTHING! Every phone is different as is every person.
I could just go on about how I now swear to Trinity and AOKP, but you'll never really know the answer to your own question unless you experiment. The experimenting is the best part :3

I use ParanoidAndroid with Harsh's kernel.
Of course this is subjective, but having tried all kernels (except Matrix and Trinity) Harsh's one is the fastest and smoothest one with good battery life. I think other kernels have better battery life as they disable mpdecision, but this comes at the loss of smoothness which I personally prioritise.
As for the ROM, I haven't tried any since I flashed PA first. I don't think I'm ever going to even consider switching ROM's - that's how awesome it is :good:
But as everybody else is saying, you have to try everything yourself, not like that's a burden since everybody on XDA loves flashing stuff. It's fun!

MINCO, really lite
Sorry i didn't make this clear earlier. But i care MUCH more about battery life than performance. I use my phone constantly, wether that means texting or reddit or games. I'm sure the nexus' hardware can more than keep up with these tasks but I'm getting relatively poor battery life.
I'm a gamer I use rasbeenjelly rom and motley b31 experimental. I get better battery life and performance than stock rom.

Really? I've flashed dozens of ROMs between my Galaxy Nexus and N4, and have always used TiBu Pro without fail to quickly restore my apps. (then again, all my apps are from the Play store).
My favorite rom lately has been codefireXsr5
with Motley b31 kernel. Alternatively, Liquidsmooth 3.2 with Trinity 91g

That's what I'm running right now! :good:
The reason I recc'd SR5 was because I found it faster than SR6. Heck, with Matr1x 5.5ocgpu487 (which itself is marginally faster than Matr1x6), I was scoring just over 20000 on AnTuTu with SR5.
I just benched SR7.2 with Motley b31oc1678, gave a pretty nice AnTuTu score of 20900, which is the same as what SR5 gave. So I'd give a thumbs up to this combo -- it also feels as good as SR5! (Running Trinity 91L at 1728 oc'd would undoubtedly bump that above 21000, but I couldn't tell the difference between running Trinity at 1728 and Motley at 1678 in daily use)
Do have to say that Rasbean Jelly and Trinity 91L was blinding fast, very noticeable in regular use; totally supports the >23000 AnTuTu score. (But I can't tell that big a difference between that combo and Liquidsmooth 3.2, which is unsupported by its 19000 benchmark. Yet another reason why I feel benchmarks are somewhat worthless when compared between entirely different ROMs)
It's all really subjective; objective tests like benchmarks are so confounded that only data mongers like me bother to use them :silly:
With Motleys I get 16000 at 1024
19500 at 1242 but then the increase is negligible. 22500 at 1642 for me.
I have been runing at 1024 and every game is perfect. Undervolted to 650 at 1024

Which features do I lose with CM Rom?

I just bought a G2 and I really love it. I want to know which features i lose if I flash CM11? Can i have stock LG camera? Can i have IR features, like quickremote? Does the knock-on works as in the stock rom?
Which kernel do you suggest for a better battery life?

I've been on stock + xposed since day one and absolutely love it. But all the above you mentioned are lost if you flash CM, which is a big part of why I'd probably never flash an AOSP ROM on this phone. Now, I do believe there are zip files for quick remote and stock LG camera for AOSP. to restore those features. And Knock on/off depends on the kernel being used I believe. But the gain/loss of flashing AOSP over what stock+Xposed offers....just doesnt even begin to be worth it, for me at least.
Knock on works better on cm than stock but knock off doesent work its worth it to me but I love stock android and no bloatware just a matter of what you like

Knock on works. Knock off status bar works and is in settings.
Paek 5.2 kernel is built in and is excellent. BT can cause a crash or freeze while turning on and off.
If you want knock off on the launcher use xblast or g2 setting exposed and nova launcher and you can set it as the double tap settings.
You can also have themes, navbar resize and changes dynamic status bar tiles, active display, immersive mode.
Battery lasts about 12 hours on hard use. Today was 3 hrs of BT and streaming music 15 phone calls. A couple ROM downloads and I was at 60% before I tried paek 5.3 kernel and burned down to 15% in an hour.
Easily a day and is comparable to stock.
Hope that helps

Thank you very much, this is what I was looking for!
So you suggest Omni over CM?
I thought that with a custom kernel, battery life would be better than stock, maybe with a bit of unvervolt
I suggest Paranoid Android, Omni, Nameless and Mahdi. Those are the most stable.. At least to me.

Undervolt has been causing a lot of SOD's, so careful. I can't in good conscience tell you which ROM to use. I just switched over to gr33nd3vils cm for today. I'm trying to test out that PAEK 5.3 with no luck on battery life. OMNI has been pretty solid. Just bluetooth issues locking her down every now and then on my end.
So a good compromise is root+xposed+kernel. I'm just looking for a better battery life, so maybe a good kernel and greenify/titanium can help me

I'd go with that.
Kernels have been interesting with stock.
Dorimax Kernel and Furnace I think our our only stock kernels but seriously the stock kernel is pretty clean. Good battery life. I usually run it on interactive but that's just my preference with a 2048 buffer size and noop.
I just installed stock cause I'm going out of town for work this week.
Found the most debloated thing I could and threw down bsleds g2 xposed from the market, xblast from xposed, and google launcher so everything is nice and smooth.
A little bit of everything here.

Do you want TouchWiz based and have all Samsung features? Do you want AOSP based like CM etc?
If you want to game etc, then look at changing kernels and tweaking you can read about kernel tweaking HERE - No one can tell you which is the best for "performance" as no one has any idea what you use your device for..

I honestly really don't mind either having samsung stock or cm, just one that will give best performance, but yeah I have been through like 10 different custom roms and each one has their issues, like nfc issue, battery issue, etc.
Also how do people get 50,000+ on antutu with the same n9005 device?
S5 port by gooh and C-Rom are my personal preference.

Antutu (version 5 is reporting incorrectly so people who think they are getting 50-60K actually are not.. lol) means nothing, don't even bother. - In regards to ROM battery isn't the ROM itself really, it'st the kernel. Use a custom kernel and have a look at how to tweak it for better battery performance.

I like Omega Rom , fast , stable...good battery life ( depending in your settings)
You must be Kidding
So far by my BEST knowledge (Maybe I know a little or wrong),
there's NOTHING called as MOST STABLE ROM. It is your choice of flavors: PERFORMANCE VS FEATURES VS BATTERY LIFE etc.
WANAM, OMEGA, ECHOE, AOSB and a lot of stable ROMs are out there that you can use as a daily driver. Developers are working hard to give you a customized taste of your choice to the Android.

Attention Devs - KIND REQUEST - Pure AOSP Rom

To all the devs.
First off, would like to compliment you on the great work you do, and putting in all the tme and effort for developing your roms.
I would please like to request, if you are interested, to develop a PURE AOSP ROM, either kitkat or lollipop, like you get on stock Nexus.
I think a lot of people would be interested in experiencing the stock Nexus look and feel.
I am adding a poll, so for all those interested please vote.
i can't see the point at all .......
you have CM11 (the last nightly is good ) ......and then CM12 .
Cyanogenmod is already "simple" and enought "pure" with lots of interestings things , really not difficult to understand why this rom work...........and very ergonomic !!!
CM is not like others customs with all theirs "frills" like Pie ,omniswitch ,exotics personalizations ......more or less useless for a standard use .
=> with that , i really don't think at all that a dev want to "spend energy" to make a "poor" AOSP pure ... and too many peoples are really not interrested by this sort of rom

Well, that is the case atleast on my s4 mini. The thing is i do not always run my s4 mini @ full 1.7 ghz
While gaming on stock rom i set cpu @ 1.3 or 1.2 ghz and plays it just fine. I play subway surfers, dead trigger 2 and asphalt 8.
All run smoothly @ low graphix settings. But on custom roms like cm I have to set cpu @ 1.4-1.5 GHz for same fluidity and
obviously battery drains a little quicker.
