Which rom is good for daily use??

Hi, I have a question: I aim getting a new nexus 4 (by June 10) and I wanted to ask a few question. 1. Which color should I get. (Prefer black but open for suggestion) and 2. Which cm10.1/PAC/ SlimBean rom should I prefer??? Nightly builds would be ok but RC or weekly builds would be ok... I will flash it within a week of getting it. I will be getting this phone for primary use so basic calling function is needed

Every rom is good for daily use. Most rom's are rock solid and stable. Even the nightlys only have minor bugs. These are the advantages on nexus devices.
Get the black nexus. The only-back-white one looks kind of weird.

You have to decide on your own. You have to make that judgement call. When you get your phone, flash the ROM and see if you like it or not base on your wants.

As above. Most are very stable. If you want a kind of stock android on steroids then CyanogenMod is great. Very professionally run team and the roms (even the nightlies) are smooth and without bugs. If you like customisation then AOKP, AOSPA or one of the derivatives are great. Also very smooth and solid but with more original features and you can customise just about anything.

Carbon Rom. Hands down.

Can anyone tell me the main differences between xylon rom and aokp? I'm really confused what to flash :S

I would vote for CyanogenMod or any derivative of it - find one that suits your needs regarding updates and features...

Only thing I dislike about cm is their refusal to put navigation bar resize.
Try carbon if you haven't yet. It's the best of all roms. It has features from cm, aokp, paranoid android. The latest alpha currently has paranoid androids halo feature. All while maintaining the best speed. Only complaint is that goo servers are slightly slow. So if you plan on giving the rom a try them look at the last couple pages for a mirror and you'll download the rom faster.

Would really help if anyone could explain this to me?

Any rom based off CyanogenMod is stable enough for daily use, Whether it be AOKP, ParanoidAndroid, PacMan etc.

Thanks for this great thread there should be a users feedback about every Rom ,to make things easy on other users,I will try the carbon myself and see what it looks like

They already have that... you just have to look in each thread and the last couple of pages would of give you a good reflection on what the rom is like. Some people on youtube do video reviews on the rom too.

After writing this i was checking for all roms and settled with downloading carbon and cm for now. Will check as soon as device comes and then decide. By the way, what is the actual free user available space on the device???

Official CM11-Nightlies for N7 flo

I am not a developer by any stretch. I posted here because I had nothing to do with this and take no credit. Moderators, feel free to delete or move, or re-word this. There are OFFICIAL CM11 Nightlies available and it should be known. I am a long time fan of CM Roms. I am surprised there isn't an Official Thread already.
Download ROM: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=flo
I am currently using Invisiblek's Gapps found here: http://www.invisiblek.org/gapps/
Obviously thank you to whomever is working on the Flo CM11 Official ROMS and the entire CM team. You guys are awesome!! I am not taking any credit whatsoever, just trying to get the word out!! Whomever the developer is that is actually working on this please make yourself known to get the recognition. I am excited and look forward to further builds!!!!
CM is the best!!!!!
Added bonus.. [4.4/4.4.x][PATCH] Qualcomm-optimized Dalvik & Bionic libraries
These really do work.. installed them on my VZW GS4 and also now on my N7 Flo for a performance boost.. Who needs ART? Link is for the OP, I had nothing to do with these either.
Antuntu: 24220 Quad: 9585 (on N7 Flo with 12/30 Nightly)

I have been CM fan since CM 6, it has been my absolute favourite rom on all my nexus devices.
UNTIL RECENTLY...........somehow they decided to stop using aosp and made their own code, it is incompatible with most of the kernels out there, leaving us with very few choices. =/
Also I find it a little odd that you are posting this after like 2 months lol.

Can anyone get otg to work?

I've also been looking for an official thread for a while.
I'm ruining cm11 m2 and I've been experiencing a few issues and I'm wondering if
they are happening to anyone else and if they are fixed in the latest nightlies
1. Random reboots(rare)
2. Keyboard weirdly unresponsive
3. 6th dockbar icon won't set.
4. Don't remember...

I haven't seen any issues like that so far. Will keep an eye out though.

1. This has happened to me occasionally. I'm trying to figure out how to capture logs of what was happening to cause it.
3. This is a GEL/Google Search for tablets issue, it's happening across all ROMS

I don't know whats happening to everybody..
really i think CM is overdoing it.. i can't remember the last great feature they added..
and they take a real long time to release a stable build.. maybe people decided to stay with
root stock rom and use the xposed framework with gravity box.. and maybe a custom kernel.

Last time I was running CM11 the audio would periodically freeze/buzz while watching videos. Can anyone confirm if this is still the case?

I'm running M2 and I get the buzz sometimes mostly when playing s game, but its really rare and usually just once and real quick.

I think uoure right. Maybe people have some afraid to root their devices.
Im still like CM always did. Theyre the best in custom roms.
Lets keep this good topic live. Thank you all.

I'm actually surprised that this thread is this short :| been on cm11 just yesterday and i've encountered 1 lockup, dozens of audio/video glitches with mx player

The buzz noise is directly related to the kernel.
Flash glitches new kernel v121 or newer and it'll completely disappear.
Just fyi, there is maybe 1-2 that work on the devices, kinda a **** move to complain about stable releases. Just because it's goggles new x.y.z Doesn't even mean that piece of crap is actually stable.
With that said since day one of nightlies minus kernel buzz, it's been rock solid. WiFi only here though.

I'm using the 4-21 CM 11 nightly and it works great. ElementalX has a CAF kernel now which is a huge plus. I opted to try the beta Xposed Framework that is CM compatible and so far so good. I added Gravity Box as well to get a working PIE function as well as a few other extras. No complaints from me. CM 11 for Flo has come a long way.
Note: Trying Xposed and Gravity Box may or may not work for you when running this ROM. I recommend having a Nandroid backup in your recovery just in case you try them.

I don't know why but no caf kernels work with my official cm
I even tried aosp kernels with no luck

Welcome! I assume you mean that you used to use CM back when they used to support us, correct? Because they don't do official builds for us anymore...

Yeah, too bad. I used 10.1.3 I think it was for a while. Over the last month or so I've tried a few out here on the boards. The unofficial CM11 is really nice but eats my battery away. I was using one from August, then upgraded last week to the October one and it was much bugier. Right now I'm using SlimKat... I think I like CM better overall but SlimKat is really nice. I've run into a few bugs, the Menu/Home/Back/Search buttons won't light on notification. That's the one feature that seems not to work that I really miss.. But SlimKat is nice enough and gives me twice the battery life as the unofficial CM11.

Ooh, I didn't know anyone was going to do a Lollipop ROM. That's exciting, thanks! Also never heard of CyanFox, I'll have to check that out. I really hope there's a SlimPop (or whatever they call it) ROM for our phone... I'm really loving the performance and battery life on this.
Also, if anyone could help me out... what effect battery life? Is it mostly the apps and base system, or can the kernel itself be a big part of it?

Anyone still using cataclysm?

Hi all,
I've been a fan of cataclysm on my previous devices and also with 6p. But since the dev stopped, I moved to various aosp based roms but I didn't get quite the balance of performance and battery like cataclysm.
Finally now on a stock based rom, with almost no additional features other than pre rooted.
So I would like to go back to cataclysm. In that case, i may miss the monthly updates. Is there a way I can still be on cataclysm and get the update also?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Don't know what the march update will do. But I have cat mod flashed over the Feb update and all works fine. This should probably be in the Q&A section. Hope this helps have a good one.

I'm running cataclysm now on my new nexus 5x. You're saying development for this ROM is over?!? Such a sick ROM when paired with Franco.

Never ran cat. I can say that I'm currently DU. Absolutely fantastic. Check them out on google plus.

Oreo 8.0 Custom ROM's popping up everywhere

As I scroll through everyday threads here on XDA I keep getting amazed how fast the developers are building Shamu ROM's with Google's latest and greatest Oreo 8.0.
So far I have used only SiXROM, versions 1.1 and 1.2 and it has been very good, especially the 1.2 version, which now looks more polished. Force closes are almost entirely gone now (it random rebooted just once, don't know why), and to my knowledge with only the NFC not working at all.
I've seen also (and getting very good reviews by users) that there are a couple of more Oreo ROM's like crDroid (version Beta 2 - 18-Sep-17) and Republic of Madness ROM Oreo (21-Sep-17) with a lot more coming, like PureNexus (I guess), LOS and Dirty Unicorns. And although we are still at early stages, these builds are almost ready to be used day-to-day.
Anyway, just wanted to know from you if you had a chance to use any of these Oreo ROM's for the N6 and what you think of them thus far.
Cheers and keep on flashing.

I'm waiting for PureNexus

I am on Nitrogen O Shamu. Its great.

Although PN is my favorite I just couldn't wait to get a taste of Oreo

I don’t like these kind of polls because then we’re trying to favor one rom over another. We shouldn’t judge a rom based on feedback, because every rom is different. It’s like everyone will have a different opinion.
But anyways, I’m waiting for a stable build, I know these devs are doing good work but patience is a virtue.

I don't think we are judging which rom is superior over the other here. We are basically discussing the kind of Oreo roms people are using and their experiences with them.

Using Nexus 5x since my Nexue 6 is cracked. I can say that although Nexus 5x is officially supported and "more stable" Shamu runs Oreo like a champ and is actually faster. My Nexue 5x is constantly freezing up. Can't wait until my girlfriend's iPhone gets returned so I can enjoy Pixel XL.

What About GApps?
So far I've only tried S.i.X's first Oreo build, it was looking pretty good then and it's likely gotten jmuch better. Not only waiting for more stable build, but I want GApps, I use OpenGApps. My shamu is my daily driver, I travel a lot, and I use it a lot so it's gotta be stable. Though I usually keep a copy of a good stable release build at all times in case I run into trouble and need to get things working fast. Most of my favorite devs are building Oreo for shamu so I'm sure there'll be some cool stuff happening in the next month or two. I can wait. I think Carbon ROM is building Oreo too and I'm also curious to see what OctOS might do.
