post which rom are you using and reason for it?

hello to all of you buddies...
i am opening this thread so as to make easy for everyone to get views about various roms available for nexus 7...i think it will also decrease the counts of threads asking "which is the best rom?"
pls also post the model (3g or wifi only) so as to avoid confusion with the post...
anybody fell free to post your views about kernels also...

I use Rasbeanjelly with Motleys modified kernel for kexec, so I can multiboot with ubuntu.

Not rooting a nexus device is like owning a Bugatti Veron and not using the the key to unlock the performance mode lol. Just joshing you a little. It does do well stock I must say.
Right now I am cm10.1 but sure I will be a flashaholic like I am with my bolt. Lots of ROMs and kernels to choose from. I am like a kid in a candy store

Paranoid android 2.99 on my Nexus 7 wifi - I use it over stock because of the hybrid ui options and control over dpi on an app by app basis. Other stuff I like is 'fullscreen' mode option on the power button pop up thing.

I know it, but I bought it when my laptop was out of commission due to HDD failure and by the time I got my HDD and realized I needed recovery discs and finally got it going again I didn't want to unlock my boot loader and lose all my game progress. So as long as I'm satisfied with stock I'll use my g'nex for flashing purposes

Just like a 'best ROM' thread, this is thread useless. You can easily see what ROMs are the most popular by looking at their threads in the Dev section and seeing the level of activity. Knowing that still doesn't tell you what ROM is best for you. Only you can decide that based on your own needs and usage.

Sorry folks.,
One of the big no-no's is asking which rom is best.
This, can only be answered by installing several roms, and deciding which is best for "You".
One can read the threads, and see which rom has the least issues, and also see what features are best for your needs.
WE can't make that choice for you. If we could, then there would only be "1" rom for all users, based on the highest amount of posts.
In the end, YOU have to decide.
Thread closed, in an effort to prevent flaming.

What custom rom will release 4.3 first?

This is just for fun
If I missed any big roms, please feel free to chime in!

Who cares? .... I rather have them take their time with it than to release one that isn't done.

I voted on Cyanogen. It has tweaks, but not as many as say PA or AOKP so in theory it shuold be less code to merge.

Right, but they take obnoxiously long to release anything since they always want it to be as bug free as possible. I'd say they will be 3rd or 4th. AOKP or Paranoid will do it first. My money is on AOKP or Slimbean.

I'd rather wait for a bug free build then have have issues just so I can see 4.3 in the about phone section.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

I agree...I'd rather wait a week or 2 for a more complete ROM. Like I've mentioned in another post 4.3 is solid so far, just missing some tweaks here and there. I think PA will be the first major release.
Cm already mentioned the galaxy nexus will get 10.2 first

I think it will be Cyanogen or AOKP to do it correct and smooth first. However I am currently using PA and it's pretty dope... So hopefully them
..
However more than likely it will be one of these built from everyone else's work Roms to put out a 4.3 release that's half baked .. Kills me how much attention people give others for "building" a ROM buy butchering real devs work..
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I hope pa, but it depends more on other apps working with 4.3. Like touchcontrol etc. I was supposed to keep this phone close to stock when I got it some weeks ago, but pie and dpi settings convinced me.

PA is merging with 4.3 as we speak. Probably see a build today or tomorrow

personaly i like the look of miui and android 4.4 more than any other rom. i think kit kat is the way to go though since i actually want an freaking app drawer haha.
miui had the elegance and style till android 4.4 came out. now its simply who wants miui functionality vs aosp 4.4.

I prefer the look of miui also, stock android lacks synergy imo, all of the apps just seem all over the place with nothing in common design wise asides from the various shades of blue lol. The consistent design is what I like about miui and even sense 5 to some extent.

exactly. um, personaly, i think that android 4.4 is making progress with making a common style of app icons, but its not androids goal to make things look any better. its more of a functional os. like i say "iphones are toys for kids who care about the bling" and "androids are simply pieces of hardware, the rest is up to you"

Great to see you here Lloir. I know your work is worth waiting for. I enjoyed your cyanogenmod work on the x+.

+1. I found the floating windows thing intriguing but the overall user experience of Halo just frustrated me for the most part. I'm not sure I'd use multi-window much on my Nexus 5 but my Nexus 7 is crying out for a well-designed, stable answer to it.

I do use multiwindow on my "5". Mainly when I want to copy and paste from one thing to another (XDA perhaps?)

HALO was terrible. too much of a gimmick. very little functional improvement

I tried to get into Halo once. Didnt find it useful because, like someone else said, the notification drawer wasnt far away. It was useful if you had the statusbar hidden but thats it. And I don't like the statusbar hidden. Hopefully whatever they come up with next will be better.

Yeah I checked out the link on the website. I actually posted the same one up in the PA thread an hour before yours lol. Just don't see the need to make a thread in general regarding a rom that's in the development forum. Plus it's better since the PA devs can actually respond since they don't monitor general cause it gets constantly cluttered with questions and pointless threads.

Although not necessarily alternative because it's located here on XDA, AICP is on G+. In my opinion it is the best, the lead dev is a really nice guy who is willing to put whatever ideas you have to improve the feature list into action. And the feature list is bigger than any other ROM
