[Q] Do you feel the need to run a custom ROM on Nexus 4?

Yes, people... the NEXUS 4!
This is the first time since Qtek 2020 was released that i feel that i no longer need to use a custom rom to fully appreciate a smartphone operating system.
The nexus 4 and Android 4.2.1 is a perfect match:
- everything is speedy
- the functionality is logical
- there is finally encryption included in the operating system from the get-go.
- Updates are instant!
- No apparent bugs with radio and hardware!
I'm in love with this thingy! :victory:
How do you feel about the Nexus 4 and it's operating system, will you put in a custom ROM?

Custom kernel, yes. Custom ROM, not yet.

already running a custom ROM, you created the thread in the wrong section bro

Not really
Do I need it? no, it does everything I need it to do perfectly. Haven't even rooted yet, but I imagine I'll break down soon and start playing.
A custom kernel may help battery life.

Ah.. should have been in the Q/A?
Felt like general was more... general.. while Q/A is like it says.. Questions and Answers.
There's no answers here, just a question.

Yes, I like the extra features of custom roms, easy as that.
Thats why its a Nexus, freedom of choice.

its a must, I haven't rooted yet to check any issues before I rely on it, you need custom roms due to the display and dpi, some of the text is too big in apps and don't provide an option so its not using the space effectively, talking about paranoid android rom

Custom kernel is necessary, the stock kernel on this phone sucks.
Custom ROM, not so much but it's nice to have all the extra features.

Kernel, for the moment.

the stock experience is too plain. not enough options. even worse for those coming off of a samsung device. people can talk about the stock experience all they want... but its better on the custom rom side.

As I said in the other thread I tried all the custom ROMs and none were as good as stock. No issues with the stock kernel either. The ease of trying different ROMs and the option to do what we want is awesome though.

Agreed. Don't get me wrong, stock is great. I've been spoiled rotten by all the great devs on XDA. I can't live without options.
Stock kernel does blow, though.
I did miss T9 in the dialer, but it's not a deal breaker. It's also understandable that T9 isn't in AOSP.

Custom launcher not enough then?
Damn, should have added that to the question.

What stock kernel would you recommend?
I have only used the stock kernels on all my phones unfortunately, so don't have any experience with that.

nope. you need a custom rom to edit the navbar and put the menu button back in that so many of us are used to. you also need it to toggle the navbar if you so choose. and many more things.

right now... franco is the best. its smooth, responsive, and is huge for the battery. but his r16 is having random reboot issues. he is fixing right now, once fixed you can add completely stable to the list of things. but i am on r15 and its great. best thing is get franco and do as i do... when there is an update to it... give it a bit and look at the last page of thread to see if its stable.

Thanks a lot for the answers!
Don't understand what you changed in the navbar, do you have link to such a mod?
Thanks, i'll check into the franco kernel, but does changing the kernel affect security??

it can. but i have never had any issues. unless you are in a position to worry about security... with your job, there is nothing to worry about.
edit: added pic.
and if you are in that sort of position to worry about security... the last phone you need is a nexus.

So far, still on stock ROM. If it weren't for ad-blockers requiring it, I wouldn't even have rooted it at this point. I do use Nova Launcher instead of the stock launcher, though. The only reason I might do a custom ROM is because I don't like not having 1% battery in notifications.

I feel like I need to run a custom ROM since custom ROMs have much more tweaks and features that stock does not have. CyanogenMod for example.

Thanks for the pic, it sure is special.. looks great!
I do have to worry about security though, but why would you say the last phone needed is a nexus?
Should i go for an iPhone? Because the alternatives are not that great.

<<<Clarifications about AOSP ROMs before jumping ship!>>>

So I'm still on stock LG ROM.
I have always liked and used AOSP ROMs on all my previous phones and now I want to use Android 4.4.2 but I have please some questions about these ROMs for our G2 before going into this:
1-Un-intrusive calls: (call popup)
Does "call heads" or "call popout" from play store work perfectly and can replace original LG implementation of this feature?!
1'-Does OmniROM implementation work perfectly always like LG's?!?
2-Call recordings:
Is there is any call recorder apps that work on these ROMs like the xposed module of G2?
I mean clear phone call recording of BOTH ends (perhaps on kernel level).
3-Screenshots editing
Is there is any app that is similar to quick memo and allows quick taking, editing and sharing of screenshots on the go?!
4-Screen casting (Miracast)
Does screen casting on these ROMs work like on stock LG?
I have a smart TV and I cast photos, videos etc... to my TV with just a simple click.
5-GRAM
Does GRAM work on these ROMs as far as you know?
6-AOSP camera
Is now AOSP camera 13MP or it is still on 8MP?
How is its quality compared to LG one?
7-FM radio
Any way to get FM radio working on these ROMs?
8-Stability and bugs
How is stability on these ROMs? Any known bugs?
Is there is any nasty wakelocks or something to worry about?
Does YouTube works?
Gaming performance?
9-Battery life
How is battery life compared to stock?
Please include numbers/screenshots if possible.
10-Exchange emails
I have always had bad experience with Exchange emails on AOSP ROMs.
Push email never allows phone to go to sleep and even with high intervals as high as 4hrs I still had like 2 hrs of wakelocks due to this email.
This LG G2 is the only phone where I have none of these issues.
11-LTE
LTE on these ROMs?
Thank you all for answering all these if possible :victory: :fingers-crossed:

That's quite a list you have there. I think you'd be better off making a backup of your stock set up and then flashing a ROM and testing out some of these questions for yourself.

Excuse me to say that you're both trying to be smart!
First, I will install some AOSP roms anyways.
Second, still after doing so, many of the clarifications I asked about will still be unknown to me since I am about replacement apps or methods that I don't know or others...
Bottom of the line, if you're helpful you are most welcomed, if not please don't answer! That's better for your image!

Nobody is trying to be smart with you Life Engineer. The fact is, your best source of information for a comprehensive list such as this, is Google and your own trial and error.
Here in the troubleshooting section of the G2 forums, it's very off topic to be asking some of these questions, like the specific ones looking for replacement apps or that one about battery life and explicitly requesting empirical evidence.
None of us are trying to be rude here, it's just that what you're asking for someone(s) to do, comes across as your own dirty work. And honestly, I don't think anyone that reads this is going to give more than maybe one straight answer.
In any case I wish you the best of luck and hope you find what you're looking for.

Strange, but I almost thought this was the Q&A section, exclusively for what this individual is doing asking questions for which he seeks answers to.
Since the lot of you have obviously no answers that help this individual with his very specific questions that are simply answered with a yes or a no, could you kindly refrain from commenting at all and possibly crawl back into the holes from which you have come.

I dunno about any ROMs having call recording integrated into the ROM but I do know that Call Recorder should work just fine.
Screen recording and screen casting works on PAC-man and ChameleonOS 4.4 ROMs, as well as plain ol' CM-11.0 with the Screencast app

Still not sure about GRAM. I was actually looking for some more info on it when I stumbled across this thread.

lol ... Your account should be banned.

i think there's two, and i've tried them both - but back on v5 if that helps. both can be downloaded here: http://www.miui.com/download-110.html
the first one is miui_i9505_shiro_5.5.22_297f4c9327_4.4.zip - works ok but google apps won't work & I can't get titanium to run (freezes at 'checking for sqllite'). I've tried both clean flash and dirty on top of v5. In a clean flash wifi won't enable.
the second one is miui_i9505_rainbow_5.5.22_6a27167d52_4.4.zip - everything was great with this apart from one thing, 3rd party apps can't switch on mobile data. this is shown as 4.4 kitkat so might not be linnked to the lollipop changes, but even with a rooted phone various toggles i tried & more importantly automateit couldn't enable mobile data (it can disable no problem).
so for me, one has wifi probs, the other data toggle probs. both deal breakers so i'm back on the one here.

another Shiro version released today, same link as above. trying it later...
edit: still hates titanium.

Are there any mirror for these downloads? I cannot do better than 3K/s

I'm surprised people actually want to run MIUI. As good as it's interface is, and as beautiful as it runs, it ain't a patch on any TW ROM. Very strange.
And I use a genuine Xiaomi phone as well!!

I don't see why people like MIUI vs TouchWiz or AOSP, or CM.
MIUI is big and bloated and slow and full of Chinese unnecessary dog****. The Redmi Note 4G (my phone) runs MIUI V6 and seems to have lots of problems but when I flashed a Lollipop CM12, improved hellishly, but no camera so I couldn't keep it

Oh I wasn't looking for an argument, was just hoping you could tell me what I'm missing when I switch away. The phone I have right now, runs MIUI, so trust me, I've got lots of experience, but to me, it just isn't worth the bother. Plus, their update cycle is painful.
I guess it depends though, if you're a developer MIUI really isn't for you, but perhaps as a user, it might be more appealing. I find MIUI a really awkward platform to develop on.

[rom] lollikat v6 beta based on kitkat 5.0.2

Hey guys this is a rom that i found looking thru the net. I figured i would share it on here with the rest of you guys. Not long ago i posted a subject about a lollipop rom that i thought may have been real but turned out it was a fake. And i know there havent been any roms for this device except for miui. And not everyone likes miui but people want something visually pleasing but different.
That Being said i present to to you guys lollikat. This rom is Based on a port from the Blu vivo iv and has alot of awesome features like working xposed, framework themed to look like lollipop and much more. I am not the developer of this rom again i am just sharing this rom to the rest of you guys.
I have noticed a few bugs with this rom.
There seems to be some small keyboard issues where you type and the keyboard does something other then what you wanted.
When.you first set up the phone it seems that if you leave the option on to recover your old settings from google the Phone goes into a black screen and you cant do anything except hard reset the phone. And when it reboots it continues to do it. Ive found that leaving this setting unchecked will fix this issue.
The audio gets crackily from time to time.
Other then those issues the rom works perfect.
I urge you guys To Flash The rom and see if you get similar results. I am also hoping that by sharing this rom thag a dev will take a look at it and resolve these bugs.
I hope you guys enjoy this rom as it has alot of potential. At least until the lollipop ota rolls out later this month.
Enjoy guys...

The rom itself isn't bad but that scrolling effect is super annoying and the over scroll looks really poorly done. I'm not sure how to remove it myself.

Best Custom ROM For The Essential PH-1?

I've been thinking about flashing a custom ROM onto my Essential, but, unlike the S4's GoldenEye, there are no clearly stable ROMs I've heard of. So, if it's not a bother, could you guys recommend a good, stable custom ROM for beginners? I'd like one I can stick with for a while without any huge bugs to get me to jump ship. Thanks for reading. A response would be greatly appreciated.
P.S: Please, none of the "Stock is best". The amount of forums I've seen where those are the only replies are ridiculous, as they don't even actually answer the question at hand.

I don't think you'll get an answer to your question because I don't think anyone has tested all ROMs and compared them. Even then it would be kinda subjective. I did install Paranoid quartz v1 and am using it as a daily driver. Only issue with this ROM is that the device is not certified in Play Store so I can't install Netflix without some extra tinkering. Besides that, the ROM is awesome. I also tried the second version of this ROM, but it seems to have a battery issue.

I flashed 4.20 the day before yesterday and have found no bugs yet. I first flashed the January Firmware, AOSP Vendor fastboot script as found on the StatiXOS OP.

Thanks. Texting you from Evolution X 4.2. It runs great. Only minor thing that bugs me is that I can't take away permissions from Google apps. But, like I said, that's pretty much a non-issue, especially when you look at the features and customization options. Thanks to everyone for the help. Have a good one.

Google play system update is still in Sept 2019, isn't it?
And can't make a phone call or receive call.

Haven't tested that out yet. It is on September 2019 build, though, But, I just called my carrier, and they picked up just fine. Although, that may be because it's my carrier. I'll try with a real number later, and I'll report back. Thanks for the heads-up.

If you have no sound when calling or receiving, in Phone - Setting - Accessibility, make sure Hearing aids is switch off. It's been turn on by default in some cases. I didn't know this until I change to another ROM.
