I just got my nexus! :) - Nexus 4 General

HI guys i just got my nexus and i downloaded the toolkit.
I want to know what is the best rom to flash and a link to how would be appreciated?
I would like one that dosen't interfere with OTA updates as well
Thank you all very much

I would recommend Paranoid Android 3+. Link is in my signature. Even if you dont update it a lot, every build is very stable. Battery life is really good. It uses stock kernel with no overclocking or under clocking. Lots of customization. Check out the video in the official thread.
If you are running 4.2.1, make sure to update your baseband and boot loader when upgrading to 4.2.2.

What do you think of the miui avatar rom?

That's not an official MIUI ROM. Its based on CM with MIUI look. MIUI ROMs aren't available for N4 yet because its running 4.2.1 or 4.2.2. You have to wait until MIUI catches up with N4 firmware. Feel free to install it.
Edit: updated

I love ParanoidAndroid, and the Franco M1 on top of it is great.

7 people, 7 different answers. Try some for yourself bud.

Congrats on the new nexus, but as born2gethard has alluded to, "best rom" threads aren't allowed. Too many people with too many opinions. Just try them for yourself.

Hi folks,
Can anyone link me to the latest stable version of MIUI Android for the IncS?
I have seen the MIUI.US version here, not sure if there is another thread for MIUI Android...
Thanks!

Thank you very much acme anvil... Downloading now..
a couple of questions.. am assuming you've used this (or are using) this rom..
- wud you know which flavor of miui this is? miui.us or miui android or any other?
- and is this ported for the IncS or Inc2?
- do let me know anything else you think is important...
thanks again!
Don't know a great deal about it. It is a great rom. Battery life IMO isn't the best but I only ran it for a few days. A boatload of customization options. I made a backup in recovery just in case I want to give it another go.

Most stable ROM for Nexus 4

Hello everybody, i have a question: what is the most stable ROM for the Nexus 4? Thanks!
Stock

Wouldn't be entirely sure of this. I mean yeah, you'd figure the stock ROM for any device would be more stable than anything custom, but on the Nexus 10 anyway, I find custom ROM's more stable (no random rebooting) than stock 4.2.2.
No comment on the most stable ROM for Nexus 4 though.
Most of them are completely stable. Try them out and see which one you like.
OP the most stable ROM would be what you find most stable, due to the variables involved with each individual User...apps/usage. Why don't you just read thru the threads and do some homework, and run some ROMs to test for yourself. Thanks

4.3 Custom Roms List

I started this thread to let everyone know (and find out myself) which custom Roms and Kernels have updated to 4.3 for the Nexus 4. Post here and let us know when you come across an updated rom or kernel and I will add it here to the OP.
NOTE:
Read this before flashing any 4.3 Roms. Any discussion about compatibility belong there. Thanks

I was just tired of scrolling through the development threads every couple of hours looking for stuff. Lolz. Found myself wishing someone would make a list like this, so I decided to. It will be obsolete soon enough but will come in handy over the next couple weeks I'm sure. Will do my best to keep it as up to date as possible.

[Request] PARANOID ANDROID for i9305

Since the official PA dev has quit the support for our devices, many users (including me) would love and appreciate if some other dev with the time, knowledge and willing could take over.
I'm not demanding for anything, I'm just hoping for some kind dev to help us out, since PA is my and many users favorite custom rom.
I also want to thank @gokussjx for his hard work, I totally understand his choice since I'm myself a student, and free time is gold.
Please devs!

Hello,
I've seen that last Paranoid version on xda is based on 4.3 JB : is there any chances to see Kitkat based version of Paranoid on i9305 ?
Thanks.

I would also like to see PA4 for the i9305, but the development for our devices is very weak, so I don't think there'll ever be...

Can you help me with my problem maybe? I have problem to get cwm recovery on I9305 (bought from T-Mobile) , each time I try to do it with Odin it loads back stock recovery. Apparently it is because boot-recovery.p
and I don't know how to go around it since this is relatively all new to me.

Are you sure you have I9305?
I would recommend TWRP instead of cwm, IMO it's better.

Try looking for threads here in xda that will show you exactly what to do. Do your research, I know there's something that will help you. You could try with TWRP.

4.4 ROMs

Can somebody please explain the differences between carbon ROM & CM? All the 4.4 ROMs look/feel the same to me apart from the awful sounds in carbon ROM.
I appreciate all the hard work the devs put in to making the ROMs. Iv been using maclaws 4.4 since initial release & its perfect for my needs.

if its comparision sorry buddy cant help [forum rules] why cant u check out videos in youtube about carbon rom and cm
Yeah I've googled it. They "sound" very different but in practice they feel the same.
I'm only asking for the main differences between them.
Back in the days of 4.1 ROMs dmod etc all the ROMs were very different. Now they don't seem that way.
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
I think that they are very different in the settings but their interface is the same cause they are all basedon the aosp project. If you want to see the differences search videos read the Rom posts or just download them and try them both....

i can't compare them but i can tell you both are different from system as other roms are different from scripts, smoothness etc, etc. This is the same case if you want to know wich rom is better we can't help you with that but we can recommend you one
