What is the best vanilla Jelly Bean ROM?

I am tired of bloated up Sense 3.6 and what HTC did to ICS. I am wondering what is the most stable Jelly Bean ROM here? I'm looking for something that does not have all those mods and such. Just plain Android. Thanks.
EDIT: Thanks, I will consider.
Any more with less bugs? What about ones like completely AOSP?

Here try this one...

I've been using this for weeks. If you don't mind not having a front facing camera. It's super smooth and very responsive. Check out the first post for the pros and cons of using the latest jb 4.1.2. Further in the thread there are also links and discussions on the best Google apps to use, as well as a camera update.

In your Opinion, what Rom is the best for battery life on Bionic?

In your Opinion, what Rom is the best for battery life on Bionic?

Eclipse and Whizzed Bean are both great on battery, believe it or not.
Also you can get better battery life on stock if you install Motomizer and customize CPU clock/voltage settings.

This is difficult because I've tried a handful of Roms but for my testing would be SkyL1n3 and IcarusHD / Eclipse ICS tied for 2nd. I'm trying Wizzed Bean as I write this.

Fed up with stock 4.2 (ROM suggestions)

I lived my nexus 7 on 4.1 but man 4.2 build is so bad. It is almost unusable to me. It is laggy and buggy with freezing all the time. Any suggestions on something very stable, close to stock? How is cyanogenmod? Ideas would be appreciated. Looking to root tomorrow I can't take this any longer.

I find Smoothrom and motley kernel to provide a very stable and fast combination with excellent battery.

Ι tried that for a day, it was smooth and all but the battery life while idle was horrible.
Reverted to 4.1.2 stock, is there a way to get rid of the notification to update to 4.2 (without updating ofcourse)...

Strange how peoples experiences differ
I use stock rom 4.2 and never ever have any kind of lag or freezing of any kind - everything works 100% and buttersmooth constantly
I never have to reboot or anything, it just runs for months and not even once have I had any lag or problems

Try a 4.1 rom, CM 10.1 is your best bet, but im not familliar of this device roms.

People have problems with 4.2 if they have old applications that are not updated for 4.2, don't clean their cache, or don't trim their storage.
Any complaints about battery life are due to applications requesting data synch or location. Those wake the Nexus up, and can be turned off.
4.2 is fine for me.

I had similar issues in stock 4.2, tried about 3 others before settling on cm10.1, which runs smooth as can be for me with good battery life.
Seems like the these things are pretty finicky and everyone's handles different ROMs differently.

I have not had good luck with aosp roms on my Nexus 7. I always end up back at cyanogenmod. Try fitsnugly's build.

You do realize not every device is the same. I keep good tabs on my devices. I would know if an application was causing the problem. I've factory reset the device and nothing has changed. Also I've heard from numerous people who have had problems like mine.

I am looking for the same. I tried ParanoidAndroid but I kept getting into a boot loop. :/ I will probably try CM 10.1 next.

On slim 4.1.2...stock kernel...no issues at all! Love it!

I love sparksco's saber mod ROM (4.2.1). It's very smooth and has excellent battery life (10%/hr screen-on time + 10%/day). The supplied kernel is great but I prefer metallice's m-kernel.
Sent from my Nexus 7

That's exactly why I finally decided to root and rom. I did like the 4.2 features so I was shooting for one that incorporated those (dual-sided notification bar, etc.)
Paranoid Android nailed it for me. It feels just like stock 4.2 but is wayyyy smoother, wayyyy less problematic and has a ton of customization options.
I gave cyanogenmod and a couple others a chance first but Paranoid Android definitely has my vote.

I decided to go with AOKP and I am loving it. So much better than stock it's crazy. Like night and day difference.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

it hard to decide which is the better rom.
btw i'm using paranoid android+franco kernel

I Use the super Charged Series N7, although PRIME D01-25 is also good. Both are very smooth with great battery life, especially when using M-Kernel or motley.
NEXUS 7:
Unlock/Root
N7 Super Charge v1
M-Kernel
PimpMyROM
Jays Buttery Tweaks

This is too funny...
If you have the latest version of jb and it is so bad you can barely use it than you need an RMA.. While it out may have some minor bugs I used it for a long time and loved it... I only switched to paranoid because I love the pie..
It sounds like a hyperbolic exaggeration to me. If not your device is faulty.. or you have some really bad apps messing things up..

Advice needed

My girlfriend currently has this phone and she is complaining about how laggy it is, glitching and the battery life is horrible.. Otherwise she loves the phone. I was wondering what I could do to fix that. I was thinking about rooting it and deleting some of the bulkware that's on it and hoping that should fix it. I ran a app cache cleaner on it the other day and some of the apps had several hundred MBs of useless cache on it.
What would be the best way to spring this phone back to life? Root and clean up the stock ROM, or Root and install a custom ROM?... If so, what's the best ROM?

I use my note as my daily driver but still use the cappy as a back up and as dedicated podcast mp3 player. Best thing I've ever done is put slim bean on it. It's in the dev section.

After being on a gb rom for a long time, I made the jump to a jb rom and it has breathed new life to this phone. It's amazingly fast and smooth. I'm running the 4.1.2 slim bean rom and it's excellent. It's practically feels like a new phone.
I think installing any of the jb roms will make this device amazing.

I've heard Good things about slimbean, but have not tested it. Hellybean 4.2.1 right is working wonders for me! Also get a extended battery or spare. I got the gold batter which is really only like 1800mah in reality but $9 and fast shipping and gives a boost

Figured I've give my $0.02 as well
Ran Slim Bean for a couple weeks and then went on to try Captivating just to try it. Gave it a day, but didn't like it much. Went to CM 10.1 and have been on it ever since. Slim Bean might be as good or better than 10.1 to me, but I get better performance and stability from 10.1. Slim Bean will definitely make it feel like a brand new phone with the dpi change and all.

I think everybody here would recommend changing to a custom ROM (hey, that's what we're here for, right?). Which one is best is very personal to the user, so try some of them and see which one you like best, <strikethrough>most</strikethrough> all of the available ROMs are awesome compared to stock. The most important thing is to read carefully how to successfully flash your phone before you go at it.

[Q] What is the advantage for choosing CM

What has CM for advantage above fw or other rom's?

A clear difference is speed. No more lags in opening anything which is the major drawback of official jb.

How about battery performance. I now use dxamd1 with cocore 6.8. And I charge once a day in the nightly hours. And use my phone freqently the whole day

Battery is quite good for me. A good start considering the rom is not optimized yet.
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app

Battery life is amazing, considering cm10.1 is still quite raw. I've just plugged my phone in after 2 days.. 15% battery left. Some whatsapp, some messaging, some browsing, some music... the usual stuff. Wifi on 100% of the time.
So is speed, smooth as butter. The only drawback I was able to find so far is benchmark results... ran antutu and scored 5030 points, while the better stock JB roms are near or at 7000 points. Mind you, if I hadn't run that benchmark, I wouldn't have noticed there was a performance deficiency.. no lags, no hiccups, nothing.
If you don't use video recording, and don't mind turning the volume down then up during a call to solve the low volume problem... then yes, go with CM10.1 as it is right now, it doesn't dissapoint. It can only get better!

So wich cm Rom version comes out best out of the box here. And can i flash it over all fw versions?

I hope that the issue of video playback is resolved soon!!
That's the only reason I don't try cm10.1
I think it will be fixable, I remember the times when g5 cm9 didn't have hq acceleration

Well, there are a lot of CM10.1 nightlies... Have a look in the archive, I've personally had excellent results with the 20130621 one. Don't flash the latest 20130627 since it's corrupted (it weights 94 MB and a full rom is about 165-170MB)
From what I've read so far, CM10.1 works just fine if flashed over XXLQE firmware, but could have problems if using another one as base. I used polish XXLQE as base and it worked perfectly, apart from the two or three bugs CM10.1 still has.

I think cm 10.1 and pac 23.0 works well with any other base too. I'm using indian ddulp8 and got no issue at all. But better install from fresh stock firmware to avoid any problems.
