Hello,
I am handing over my Nexus 4 to the wife to use. It is unlocked, with twrp ready and running.
Can someone advise on the latest flashable stock rom, anything that is bells and whistles free, stable and with best battery life.
Any rom is fine, Lollipop probably is the best owing to stability. Like I said, not bothered about added goodies so long as the Nexus 4 runs well. Or else I'll be nagged to death!!
Thanks.
Fake Nexus ROM Marshmallow version?

I have just rooted my newely aquired Nexus 7 land want tot install a custom ROM. At least i think i do. Can someone please explain to me what the difference is between the stock nexus 7 and an aosp rom.
I have always had custom ROMs installed on my S3 and there the difference is pretty clear. Here it seems like stock and aosp are the same. So maybe a stock based ROM like cleanrom would be a good choice?
Don't forget AOKP!
I would also like this clarifying in laymans terms, as AOSP and AOKP pickle me !

Yes, AOSP is Google unmodified rom (base for other vendors like HTC .. etc)
Nexus 7 is Google device = AOSP rom
AOKP rom and Cyanogenmod is an open source replacement firmware for smart phones and tablet computers based on the Android mobile operating system. It offers features and options not found in the official firmware distributed by vendors of these devices. (wiki quote)
Great. So installing Paranoid Android would basically give me Nexus 7 stock with some added features.
Exactly what I was after.
Hello guys! I have decided to ask for your help as I ran into a bump. I have been flashing a lot of ROMs lately but I can't find something that suits me. I am looking for a rom that is near to bugless, has a great battery life and can be customized a bit. I don't really like TW roms because of the way they look. I am currently running Resurrection Remix v5.6.2 but I encounter some bugs, so it's not for me.
Could you suggest me something good, please? Either KitKat, Lollipop or Marshmallow (if there is one).
Or, if it's not really that battery friendly, one that charges pretty fast. I am tired of waiting 3 hours for my battery to be full
As far as battery life goes, I think Touchwhiz is the best. It can be customized with Xposed.
In terms of charging speed, Lollipop seems to be faster than Marshmallow.
Try the GPE roms. One is untouched, meaning it has no root or modifications.
Hello, I installed Untouched GPE and have been using it for the last 2 days. It's a stable and snappy rom, only has some few minor bugs. But the charging is soooo slow, and the battery life isn't too good either. Any suggestions on a stable ROM that's not touchwiz based and performs well, with good battery life or charges very fast?
Hello guys, I have one more request from you: please name all the ROMs that you know for S4 that are bugless and very stable, regardless of the android version: kitkat, lollipop, marshmallow etc. Thanks!

A bugless rom does not exist. Stock or custom all have some bugs. Almost all roms out there are stable.
And the battery life is just bad on the s4. Not much you can do about that.
One important thing you should know about roms is that, if a rom works perfectly fine for me, for you it might not work as good.
For me, every rom worked perfectly fine, while for other users, the same rom, wasn't stable.
Hello
I've dug my old N4 for some use while my current device is in for a repair. Been a few years since I last used it. Madhi rom was the last one I flashed, oh yeah the good old days.
Can anyone suggest a stable and battery consistent rom that has status bar tweaks that allow the battery icon colour to be changed (or the icons individually)? I'd prefer Lollipop which is probably the most stable as I'd be using this as a daily driver and not looking for FCs every now and then!
Also would like the latest CM theme engine with the rom.
Resurrection Remix on my HTC fitted the bill, but does the N4 version have the same features, and the N4 version I found is Marshmallow based.
Apologies, I know these type of threads are not popular
Cm 12.1 is available for n4

Have Nougat roms stabilised enough to be useful as daily drivers without too many crashes? I appreciate the N4 is an antique these days and we're lucky enough to have Marshmallow, let alone Nougat!
Had a feeling battery would be poor on Nougat roms compared to Lollipop or even Kitkat? Thanks,
Nitrogen os rom is very stable best nougat rom chroma is best for marshmallow and I like cm12.1 for lollipop personally
Thanks for that, would you say they all offer similar battery life?
Yes I would say that

Hi, i always use old android 4 roms for my smartphones, because the roms have been long updated and the 4. ist much faster because it has not this encryption. (my old s4 is in 50% of the opertaions i use faster). But which rom is the best? I want to have xposed and viper sound mod. the shohat rom has it included, but the comments was not so good with the performance and battery life. what do you recommend me?
If you mean KitKat (android 4.4) ROMs, the last one I've used was omega ROM.
However, I'd highly recommend to jump straight to Android 6.0 marshmallow for general battery + performance improvements (not to mention much improved security).
Android 4 is outdated by a long mile. At least think about stock touchwiz. Your best bet for Android 4 would be the now-defunct CM11 or PAC or even some older versions of CosmicOS (if they exist, haven't looked). Other than that, no way KK ROMs would be in development in 2017.
Hey guys I have a quick question. I'm thinking about buying a 6P and I can't help but to be paranoid about all of the bootloop issues I'm hearing about. The thing is, it seems that this only happens with the official update(at least that's what I think). If I buy the phone(used) and flash a custom rom, will that be a way to avoid this bootloop issue?
Only some models are experiencing the bootloops issues (I don't know what about the Official PA), otherwise, you'll have a great number of some of the best custom roms (Resurrection remix, purenexus, lineage...) & kernels (elementalX, franco, flash...) and you can choose what's best for you.
I can also say, that the N6P has an amazing camera for taking great photos, and is just a great android phone.
Personnaly I'm on the android O developer preview 3 since more than a mounth, and I can say that it's running great with a good battery life and smooth animations.
Ok thanks. I guess I'll flash the custom rom as soon as I get it just to be on the safe side. The camera caught my attention. It's basically why I'm upgrading from my Oneplus One.
