[Q] Deciding between a few Lollipop ROMs. Suggestions / user experience? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Currently running CM12, but I've been thinking between XenonHD, RastaPop, Euphoria OS, Terminus and LiquidSmooth.
Any experience about these ROMs? Most of these seem pretty same if you look at the features. But does some of these stand out?

Just start flashing and find out what you like the best.

As much as I hate CM I quite like the xenon.
Very stable and doesn't require too much micro management.
Well I had to install better battery stats but my battery problems might be down to a dodgy app.

I haven't tried them all but so far my favorite is my setup now...boostpop 2.7 with Franco sabermod kernel, overclocked to 1.7ghz max 192mhz minimum. Rro layers running giving the black look I liked on slimkat. It's as fast as I've ever felt this phone.
I've tried liquidsmooth v4 and a recent paranoid android and cm12 I think. Those are the only recent LP ROMs I've tried.

Frank Rom and Rastapop both great 5'0'2 Roms with all latest optimizations like RRO etc

Too soon?

So what's the best ROM? I know I know, "try for yourself" will be the first answer, but I just wanted to see who's the ppls champ

Hi,
Today I tested :
- CM10 Nightly
- MIUI
- Stock with custom kernel
I didn't find any bug in those three version. I wouldn't say one is better then the other, they are just likely different.
- MIUI : As a really beautiful interface, it is a little closer to iOS but far from looking like it. Try to get picture
- CM10 Based on Stock and looks just like the stock version but has extra features + supports themes
- Stock well the original rom but I use a custom kernel to overclock my cpu to 1.8 Ghz
For now I will stay with Stock + Custom Kernel
I hope it answer your questions

Have you guys tried AOKP build 1? I have it and the nexus 7 flies
I am also using faux's 008m kernel
I have always loved AOKP for its customisation and tweaks Its what got me off CM and onto AOKP

Wow didnt know there was a MIUI build for this....gonna have to check that out...gonna steer clear of the kernel until i observe the long term effects of overclocking a quad-core device...but thanks

I tried build 1 on my galaxy nexus and its not bad but still missing lots of features of the old ics aokp. Im running paranoid right now on both devices and it has loads of features like the ics aokp. Its been very stable so far. I really like the ability to use tablet mode for certain apps.

Most Bloat Free and Fully Optimized Custom ROM (4.4.2)?

Hey guys. I've tried out many many ROMs since the past week. But I can't find a ROM worth my taste (all ROMs are PERFECT don't get me wrong)
My requirements are (just) these.
1. The slimmest, fastest 4.4.2 ROM. Be it Stock be it customisable. I. Need. Speed!
2. Battery Life.
3. A Custom Kernel (speedy ofc) to go with it.
Current combination:
Nexus 5 Experience ROM by BoyKioy.
AK Kernel v309.
Dalvik / Bionic Libraries
Greenified
Thanks.. I would love to try out your suggestions!

Purity is the answer for all your question. Fast,Stable and with Hellscore kernel battery friendly. :good:
Most bloat free? Without doubt it is KitKalo. You can find it in android dev section. Good battery life with matrix kernel.
Pure speed v3? Haven't used it but from what I've read it's the fastest and most bloat free

[Q] stock or custom rom?

I use custom kernel, updated gpu drivers and stock rom.. i use art
would installing pa with the same custom kernel improve performance or would it be the same with features?
I don't think that flashing Paranoid Android would drastically inhance the performance of your N4, but I experienced that the system runs really smooth and I haven't had any lag since I flashed the rom. The great advantage of Paranoid Android are the added features like hover. If you really want a good overall performance you should use franco.kernel.

What is the fastest ROM out there for D802?

Hi,
I went through several ROMs with my G2, and the only one fast enough so far (with LP) was BlissPop. But the latest builds of BlissPop have random reboots in them, and I can not afford to wait with a useless phone. My phone performs fine in benchmarks, but the feeling and overall snappiness is just trash with most ROMs, because I do a lot of multitasking. I tried these ROMs, and they were not sufficiently fast enough:
Stock LG LP
Stock LG LP + Dorimanx Kernel (tried all the profiles)
CloudyG3
Ressurection Remix
SlimLP
No name 420 DPI
CM 12.1 Official
Maybe I should switch back to KK, before BlissPop developers solve the issues? Or is there a fast LP ROM I did not try yet? And if so, which one?
Thank you for your answers in advance.
Cloudy was getting way too laggy for me too, so I switched back to CM12.1 a few days ago and now I love my phone again. I did a lot of multitasking too, Chrome and Messenger at the same time would cause issues on Cloudy, but no problem on CM. Battery lasts longer too.
I found it, I'll take a look, thanks. But more tips are welcome.
You should try Xceed kernel immediately!
Recommended stock based rom+ xceed kernel .. It will make you phone like Lamborghini

temasek's unofficial cm build is really fast and you will get 5 hours+ sot with ultra speed without any kernel and customizations. just install and use
Stock LP from + dorimanx gives me 6 hrs SOT and its pretty fast
That is what I do not understand. How? How does it work for you, but does not work for me as well? Stock LP and CloudyG3 were HORRIBLE with Dorimanx! How is it even possible?

Yeah, Lollipop Cloudy is horrible with dorimanx. But pretty good (imo best g2 experience) on stock kernel, but i haven't tried xceed yet. Dorimanx was fast and stable on kitkat, now it isn't. It has horrible slowdowns.
Btw. I broke my g2 today
have you tried tesla or tipsy. they were fster on my s2. then the rest..
The fastest rom is stock CM.
Try cm12.1 unofficial temasek realy amazing and very very good battery life
I'm trying out stock CM 12.1 and it isn't bad, but it is definitively slower than BlissPop, so, is temasek's build faster?

Yes give it a try u will love it
SRKG2-3-00_droidth_20151004.
+ Xceed
Can't blame if you want LG experience. Working just great for me.
I know exactly what you mean. The multitasking performance and ram management of G2 stock roms is horrible - doesn't matter which one and which kernel you use.
No comparison to HTC Sense for example.
With CM12.1 and BlissPop you already have the cherry picks.

how long stay the battery ?
So I tried the official CM 12.1 and it was no better than the others. Heavy multitasking is impossible (Messenger, Firefox, CG Transit, Apex, Google Play Music + Viper and Opera just can not run at the same time, and the could in BlissPop).
I'll give a try to the unofficial temaseks build, but I doubt it.
Aosp is obvious faster than stock, but u are daying goodbye to a good camera, a good voice recorder, probay u are going to have a lower sound volume/quality (happened to me with aosp roms) also qrremote and a lot of lg goodies,
Since i use a lot the camera and i sing with guitar and voice, i need a good camera and a good voice recorder, so i stay with cloudy g3.3
It isnt that slow imho, just slower than aosp, this doesnt mean slow itself, stable no reboots no problems and the battery last a lot, equal or better than aosp

Most stable Marshmallow rom+kernel comb?

Hey there,
I'm currently using SAOTP + Taurus Kernel and without zero changes in the settings I keep getting random reboots. At least 2 every day, sometimes up to 5.
Before that I used CM12.1 and that rom got slow ..so fast. Super annoying.
So now I just want a really stable rom (no reboots at all) with decent battery life (it will never be good for me when I turn 3G on anyways).
What would you recommend?
(Btw I want root because of Adaway and maybe even Xposed)
Thanks in advance!
chorma + hellscore kernel
Frank's Marshmallow ROM + TaUrUs Kernel seems to be stable for me.
For me OctOS+Hellscore are very stable and battery life is about 2:30h SOT (3G always on and using chrome for about an hour and a half).
I'm using Chroma with its stock kernel, been really stable for me.
SAOSP and Taurus
Pure Nexus ROM + Stock Kernel
Chroma and TaUrUs
Chroma + Stock. My goal was just to extend the life of the Nexus 4 with current OS releases and minimum complications. This combo gives me exactly what I need. No surprises, everything works, it is super fast, and fixes a lot of problems with Lollipop. Xposed is not officially supported because it could affect stability, but I see where people are using it.
Pure Nexus ROM + Stock Kernel for me, It is stable.
Aosp Franco with stock kernel
