The new team BAMF wrong is sooooo buttery! Running very smooth and stable for me
Ive been using Paul Obriens Jr# ROMs. theyre just tweaked stock ROMs, but I have never had a single issue so far and with every release there are new features without any new bugs. which is always nice.

How much smoother can it be than stock jb? Seems like people are getting placebo effects from custom roms, only benefit I see is removal of bloat, if there is any really.

It ships with stock so run stock for a few weeks to establish a baseline for stability and speed before you go experimenting.
I would wait a couple months. Stock nexus 7 runs great. Just unlock and root it. After a couple months Roms will start to mature and you will also see which ones seem to be leading, me personally, I love to flash. But I, very happy with stock and nova launcher. There are some things I would like from full tablet ui. But every ROM is promising the world. Just waiting to see which ones take the lead.
So just wait for now. no rush, do you hate stock that much?
Edit:
Plus people are having some issues booting into recovery without a USB or adb

Have tried just about all the popular ones out as of yet, favorite so far has to be TeamEOS' nightlies. Very stable, UI works great, launcher rotation, and has the ICS style status bar, which I prefer.

I've been using the Pure AOSP rom, I used the stock for a couple of days and then switched, never looked back. There aren't a lot of differences between stock and the Pure AOSP, but the AOSP rom provides a cleaner starting point and the camera works by default.

I'm currently running stock, I just rooted and unlocked so I'm set whenever the stable full roms start kicking in. No need to rush it, just stick with stock for now

I think you are right about that. Although I flash Roms on my galaxy note, I could not see the need on the nexus 7 because it runs better than any ROM I ever put on the note
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I keep trying new ones in hopes that it will somehow get even better, but keep returning to stock.
Nothing is as smooth.
Currently running stock, rooted, deodexed. With the tabletUI mod. Nova launcher. awesome.
I'm running BAMF Paradigm. It's absolutely an amazing blend of custom features that offer visual and performance related options to really make it your tablet, I'm very happy with it, I've run several others also. DEFINITELY recommend Motley's kernel, it's one of the things I love most about the nexus 7. Also Aaronpoweruser's (sp) cookies and cream rom ran really good for me.
Just go for a different kernel rather than ROM, I tried out Trinity today (only got the 7 yesterday) and I find its quite slick..

Hundred percent agree. I have Paranoid Android on there just for the Tablet UI changes. I have found that Kernel Improvements do help drastically.
plain old pure aosp. its clean and fast, with the trinity kernel at least

Hey guys,
I want to buy either a xperia z, htc one or a find 5.
I like the find 5`s hardware the most, but ive heard some bad things about the overall performance and stability of the find 5.
No matter which of the phones ill buy in the end, i will run CM or AOKP on it, most likely the pac rom. Under this rom, will there be any huge differences in performance or stability between these three phones? Are there any issues (camera?) ill only get on the find 5?
thank you very much
If you're going to out cm on them, then go for the Find 5. The stability and performance issues are on stock firmware. Project firefly fixes those issues
Sent from my X909 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Yep like Osmo said, if your gonna run CM on it this is the phone to get. If for nothing else, the warranty doesn't get voided via rooting or flashing.

CM fixes a bunch of things that is not perfect on stock firmware. The only downside to CM is camera quality, audio fidelity and the lags that start happening after about an hour from boot. Firefly is still in beta but fixes the lag in comparison to stock, fixes the heavy battery drain, and some other things bit it adds a bunch of little neat eye candy stuff

First off it amazingly beautiful. It goes hand in hand with this phone, it silky smooth and the battery is way better.
However there are some bugs with Gmail and your contacts don't sync. Period.
I WILL wait for the final version to come out and will go back!! It's just a beautiful huge UPDATE.

Last time I ever flashed a ROM or participated in this was about 3 years ago. I'm pretty fresh to how this works and all but i still remember the gist of it. I just got my nexus 4 and am hoping to make it better

ROM will be pretty much irrelevant. The vast majority are AOSP based, with the differences being visual tweaks and added features, which add little, if any, drain on the battery. Some features, like pocket mode, might drain a bit more, but it's up to you to use them. All will run smooth as butter, stock. It's things like live wallpapers, excessive widgets, and apps running in the background that'll cause lag and stutters.
Custom kernels can help with battery life, but it's a small percentage, and it depends more on how you use the phone. A wakelock detector app plus Greenify can keep your phone from constantly waking and syncing, and that helps battery life a lot. And of course, screen brightness is the biggest battery killer of all.

Well if you want a really smooth and battery friendly rom, I'd recommend the L preview.. If you want a Kk rom I'd recommend liquidsmooth as it's feature packed and optimized really well. I personally have used both and right now use LS with Unleashed kernel.. It's a great combo. But in the end you gotta try out doff things to see what you like

Well I doubt you would be able to even install an ota update of the official L.. You'd have to probably flash a new rom based on it or flash the factory image once it's out.. I'm sure rooted base roms of L would come out within a week of the release so you could flash that.. But if you want the ota, then you can go back to factory image 4.4.4 after release of L and get the ota after.. But no root.
Hi guys just got my opo.

Temasek is awesome. But the only thing that drove me off CM12 builds are the Bluetooth volume control. Once you go to 70%, it will keep increasing in the background and the audio gets all distorted. Being a person who keeps his bluetooth on all day, I'd prefer to listen to my music blasting out and a nice, fixed, clear way - rather than having my ears blown to smithereens.
One more thing. I reverted back to 4.4.4 because of the plethora of working features. I don't want to be chasing waterfalls and always update to the latest ROM because of being new. I bought this phone because I like the potential it had on stock, and wanted to get the most out of it from a custom ROM. Mahdi was the way to go. Until I feel Lollipop is an upgrade rather than a downgrade, in features, I won't go back on my Daily Driver phone.
I may flash the odd Lollipop rom on my black OnePlus though. Keeping my bamboo one free of issues first.

Pretty much same situation as nicholaschum, running mahdi and ak until there's a more feature rich version of lollipop available. Probably euphoria since they're the same team that worked on mahdi.

I was using euphoria builds on and off but the dev here had an attitude publish so that's put me off using it and also CM gets far quicker fixes and there is something satisfying about doing your own builds as well.

What are some good reason to root my phone
Backing up stuff.
Audio mods like viper fx audio, dolby atmos
Battery savers like greenify, amplify, naptime
Xposed framework
Adblockers
Iytbp (youtube with backround player)
Dual stereo speaker mod
Kernel managers so you can underclock or overclock the cpu
And much more stuff!
Some examples:
AdAway - ad blocker
Titanium - backups
TWRP (no root required but you have to unlock bootloader) - nandroid backups
BetterBatteryStats - as its name states
Magisk Manager - If rooted with Magisk, you can install cool modules
Xposed framework - the best customizations with Gravity Box and 100s of interesting modules
SD Maid - deep clean your device
There are some battery savers which I don't use but are popular such as Amplify and Grenify
Tasker - almost forgot this one, you can automate a lot of actions when meeting conditions (such as automatically enabling WiFi and connecting to a network in a specific location, open a specific app when connecting headphones, enable location when opening a specific app, etc.)
Also, you can install kernel managers, theme your device and have some additional app features only available for rooted users. Maybe rooting is not as popular as it used to be because current stock ROMs allow you to perform some stuff that you could not do on past versions of Android, but I still find it useful.

The best reason is that you can improve the performance of OOS by using a custom kernel and tweaking the settings. I'm personally not a fan of Xposed at all and would steer clear of it unless you actually have a very specific reason to install it. You don't want to install Xposed and then hope you will find a use for it because Xposed can cause a lot of problems. If you use Magisk to root your phone you might find some useful modules. I like the one that allows Google Play Services to go into doze.
